Eastern Railroad Discussion > Gettysburg RR GP-9 in western OhioDate: 11/25/14 17:01 Gettysburg RR GP-9 in western Ohio Author: Greg2102 Was driving down I-24 around Paulding, Ohio and looked off to the left and what should I see but a GP-9 lettered for the Gettysburg. Had to stop and take some pictures. The crew was getting ready to move the train so I asked what RR this happened to be and they told me it is the Napoleon Defiance & Western RR a division of Pioneer Lines which just happens to own the Gettysburg RR also.

Excessive idling causes this...very common in grain elevators and other industrial applications.

Thanks for taking time to check that out. That's very interesting to see SSW on something these days. I suppose there's a reason; and someone on the forum probably has an answer.
