Eastern Railroad Discussion > I&O/CF&E- Running with the G&W Corporate ColorsDate: 04/27/17 18:29 I&O/CF&E- Running with the G&W Corporate Colors Author: CGTower The G&W banner was waving today in Lima, Ohio on the former DT&I.
Photo 1: The "LNL" (Lima North Local) makes a set out at the DT&I Ford Park Yard. The three I&O SD40-2's will couple back up to their train and take the remainder of their train south toward Springfield. Photo 2: A little later in the day, the CF&E transfer run from Cole Street on the former PRR Ft. Wayne Line, pulls south past the NS interchange and searchlight cantilever signal at Morris. The two engines have a very healthy cut of interchange traffic to hand over the the CF&E. Photo 3: The transfer run crosses the Ottawa River on Lima's east side. While not quite DT&I "International Orange", the matching locomotives on a regional rail line are welcome additions to the local rail scene. CG Tower Edited 3 time(s).
