OHCR 4094
Title:  OHCR 4094
Description:  In addition to neat signals around diamonds, the OHCR also still sports a fleet of B23-7 locomotives, some of the only ones left running in revenue service in the United States. It was a shame when I was told they more than likely would not run to Brewster during my visit. With the next Wheeling train coming from the east and still being back in Akron, I decided to head over to the diamond in Justus since Corman was still showing no signs of life. I sat for a while until I heard the very familiar Saint Albans dispatch tone go off over the radio. Sure enough, it was OHCR CNL-1 clearing up a track warrant from Coschoctan to Brewster. It made me sort of discouraged to find out I had missed them coming north by the tilt board, but at least I knew I would be able to get them coming south by it. After talking with the Wheeling dispatch, CNL1 came onto the Wheeling main with 3 units and no cars. It was a relief to see the Super 7 on the front. The added SD40-2s signified that they would be picking up a rock train that came out of Carey (more than likely from that 728 from earlier). While I would have preferred a corporate maroon SD40-2 to be the southbound leader, the CP SD40-2 is certainly better than anything in G&W orange!

OHCR 4094
Title:  OHCR 4094
Description:  Side shot of the Super 7. All 6 Super 7s on the OHCR roster have a different paint scheme. If memory serves me correctly this one came from the New Castle Industrial Railroad, and was just slightly modified in paint.

OHCR 4094
Title:  OHCR 4094
Description:  Hard to believe that for years this unit was paired with the Super 7 in the corporate orange G&W paint. I think I got lucky today!
