Saw these parked the day before and they were out working today but I am not sure where. Nice fresh paint. Columbus Ohio. I know we have a lot of switcher fans.

Wow..those are rather Orange. Judging by the number boards, I would venture to guess that pair came from the SP...relocated cruds!
Thanks for sharing, switchers are my fave's. They have a very SIND (southern indiana railway ) like paint scheme, look ready for deer season ;D
Definitely wont get shot at in those!

I've found another black and white switcher at a grain elevator east of town. I am going to go back when/if there is sunshine again. I saw it from the expressway and it looks to be an older SW type engine. But I am not that good with old switcher engine identification.
Hocking Valley Scenic Railway C&O 5833
Got a cab tour. Probably could have ridden in to town from the engine house if I had the time. Very nice and friendly place.
Nelsonville, Ohio
That's one sharp geep
So I've been hearing a train come by every day about 12:30ish..

And it is the Camp Chase doing some switching job. Today there was finally sunshine. This was from the passenger seat of the car.
Also went over to the grain silo and caught them working. This was a pain to climb up over a chain link fence and walk up on the overpass to get these shots.
