One is not a lonely number...at times. Massillon, Ohio
Author: Forever-Railfan-45

With the ever increasing anxiety over the Covid-19 coronavirus I have been going out alone and not out among crowds. The police department I work for (at a major health system in Akron, Ohio) we went on a Tier 3 lockdown; only employees and patients. Have to be scanned before reporting for work at one of three ingress points. Lots of strict guidelines now untiil this passes. Chief said we may be on lockdown for up to three months. Decided to stay local and first picture is of the NS 66X in Canton, Ohio downtown; fog was just starting to lift and this photo was taken on March 20, 2020. Second picture was of NS M2V at Beaumont Road in Lawrence Township just west of Massillon. Number three is of the NS local C03 (with a GP59ECO) passing what I believe to be a former PRR depot with sandstone foundation; strong storm was just staring to brew...

Number four is a view of the (what I think) was a former PRR depot; commetns welcome. Numbers five and six are of the NS 6E4 from March 19, 2020 at CP MACE. Had to get to work quite quickly so this was the only prudent area I could go and have quick access to the highway. Stay safe everyone if you have to go out.

I'm glad you had a chance to share these. My favorite is photo one in the fog.
Yes, that is the ex-PRR station.

Nice work Carl.  

Im on the western front heading to my wifes grandparents. I'll be posting up at time permits, maybe might have a travel log here from my western front.  

PS I still have to come to Alliance sometime this summer as now I own my own ride.
