Description:  One unit wonder! OHCR #6642 (SD18) leads a 30 car OCS-1 all by itself west on the NS Lordstown Secondary through Youngstown, Ohio on the afternoon of Tuesday, October 22, 2013. The train is on former Pennsylvania Railroad trackage, with Youngstowns PRR station just out of sight to the right.

OHCR on the Youngstown Line
Title:  OHCR on the Youngstown Line
Description:  At 12:51pm on Tuesday, March 24, 2015, local OCS1 led by OHCR #7591 (GP10) led its train south on Norfolk Southern's Youngstown Line, crossing CSX's New Castle Sub at CP Center Street.

OHCR Working Austintown
Title:  OHCR Working Austintown
Description:  After switching out a car, engineer Kevin Loue backs OHCR #8702 (GP11) and OHCR #8712 (GP11) out from inside Penn-Ohio Logistics on Thursday March 12, 2020. This is part of the old Youngstown Steel Door plant, on Hendricks Road in Austintown, Ohio, and is a spot where Id go catch the Ohio Central working long before I had my driver’s license. I grew up just down the street and would ride my bike to the tracks whenever I heard them working. Its been twelve years since Ohio Central became part of Genesee and Wyoming family, so it’s always great to see a matching set of OC units (and a matching set of GP11s). With the arrival of the first G&W orange unit to Youngstown in late 2018, scenes like this won’t last forever. Also, of note, OHCR #8702 is lettered “Pittsburgh and Ohio Central” on the side and has just recently returned to Youngstown after years of being on the POHC in McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania.

OHCR on the Y&A
Title:  OHCR on the Y&A
Description:  Finished up with their work in Austintown, OHCR #8712 (GP11) and OHCR #8702 (GP11) are shoving their 6 cars down the hill of the Youngstown and Austintown Branch back towards the CSX New Castle Sub in dwindling evening light. It’s 5:55pm on Thursday March 12, 2020, and the train has just ducked under I-680 and is crossing North Belle Vista Avenue on the west side of Youngstown, Ohio. The two refrigerated boxcars have come from United Freezer and Storage and the four empty flatcars have come from Penn-Ohio Logistics. Its been twelve years since Ohio Central became part of Genesee and Wyoming family, so it’s always great to see a matching set of OC units (and a matching set of GP11s). With the arrival of the first G&W orange unit to Youngstown in late 2018, scenes like this won’t last forever.
