I like their paint scheme! Dan Posted from iPhone Date: 11/21/24 04:52 Re: Belpre Industrial Parkersburg Railroad-Tuesday 11/12/24 Author: robj Great coverage, love train in the street with some late fall colors.

Its a fairly easy chase to Marieta Ohio. Once the train gets past Marietta it gets a little tougher to follow the train. The railroad does have an attractive paint scheme! It also helps that the locomotives are washed periodically. Chris Hughes Date: 11/21/24 06:02 Re: Belpre Industrial Parkersburg Railroad-Tuesday 11/12/24 Author: trainman7774 Thanks Bob!
