Eastern Railroad Discussion > 3 questions

First has anybody heard of the Allegheny Valley RR in Columbus, Ohio? I don't live to far north of there and I have never heard of it before I know they have one engine though a GP10 #7559 I think, but what line would this railroad be on. There are 3 short lines that I know of in Columbus: Camp Chase, Indiana&Ohio Central, and Columbus&Ohio River(Ohio Central). Second does the connection track at Sidney, Ohio take westbound trains from the Indianapolis Line down south on the Toledo Sub? Third does anybody know the where abouts of the Grand Trunk's 3 GP38DC's (#'s 6200-6203)which were ex. DT&I are at? I would love to see pics. if any.

The Allegheny Valley Railroad is a Pittsburgh area shortline owned by the same group that owns Camp Chase. They also own the Southwest Pennsylvania Railroad.

The Allegheny Valley RR. is in the Pittsburgh area. The Ohio Central just bought the Pittsburgh Industrial Railroad and renamed it the Pittsburgh & Ohio Central, but I have no indication that the Allegheny Valley was involved in that transaction. If it was, that might explain an A.V.RR. engine's appearance in Columbus.

The new connection at Sidney allows westbound trains on the Big Four to go south on the Toledo Sub. and northbound trains on the Toledo Sub. to go east on the Big Four.

Tom,

GTW #ers 6200 thru 6204 are now GTW 4994 thru 4999 as they now have HUGE IC style #ers on the sides of their cabs! I have a shot of #4998 and i will e-mail it to ya!


BTW- your plague SD40-2 is now painted any luck on new decals??????

CSX is moving something right now. I THINK it might be their engine. Any idea?

Correction, only 3 of the 6200's are re#ed . 6200,6201, and 6203 are 4994,95,96. These 3 were rebuilt with new electronics in 90-92? I believe, also the nose light was removed. 4997,98,99 are ex-5800's.
5800,07,10 I believe. The other units 6202,04,05 are LLPX 2200's now if im not mistaken .
