I made a detour on the way to see this guy's steam sister run the Cuyahoga Valley Extra, and OCS1 is all I saw in the hour or so that I was here since CSX had a MOW crew in the interlocking.

A former Southern SD24, after rebuilding to an SD18m- and a stint on the C&NW- now works for the OC in the Youngstown,Ohio area. A GP10 and GP-11 are part of this neat consist.

CSXT 7602 leads it's train eastbound through the Center Street interlocking. The north-south line is Norfolk Southern's.

Here is a rare view of CSX 9100, the first AC4400CW. The first few AC44's were delivered in 9100 series numbers and then were renumbered in less than two weeks. This is now CSX #1.

Also now an Ohio Central piece of equipment, MVRY, of Union RR heritage, is shut down after having completed its yard work.
