Eastern Railroad Discussion > Ohio Central Geeps moving on NSDate: 12/05/04 08:53 Ohio Central Geeps moving on NS Author: halfmoonharold NS 146 is currently (Sun. noon) in Fostoria,OH. Five OHCR units are being moved in trail: 9917-8277-5855-8801-9934. They are all showing as GP9's in the computer. Apparently the move is UP/E.St.Louis to the OHCR, most likely in Columbus,OH. Anyone know the story behind this? Are they coming off lease to a western road? Are they all in OHCR paint?

StlRailfan  Date: 12/05/04 14:20 Re: OHCR units Author: halfmoonharold Great replies! Thanks for the information and photos! It's weird, I just had a feeling there would be something interesting moving today.
Date: 12/05/04 23:51 Re: OHCR units Author: ns-dash8 Sounds like 171 will have a unpatched SSW 9706 monday.
can you confirm this? TIA, Andrew Date: 12/06/04 22:11 Re: OHCR units Author: hallbf Thanks for the info. I saw two eastbounds through Lafayette, IN with the 3rd unit being an OC unit. Of course it was dark so I didn't get very good looks at them.
