This black and white photograph shows an aerial view of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad.

No other description is provided from the Repository, Toledo Lucas County Public Library Ottawa Yard?

Christine-John Yontz: This is Wallbridge yard. At the bottom left of the photo is the PRR line from Tiffin coming in and in the background you can see the cars at the Toledo and Ohio Central's yard (Stanley Yd, not sure if was called that back then). The coaling tower is where the modern day car shop is (still in use?) and if you look and Google maps you can still see some of the track from the roundhouse south of the car shop. Again, most of the tracks in this photo are gone in Wallbridge yard.
Matthew S. Smith: Was there always a hump? It almost looks as if there is no hump yet.
Jim Sank: Matthew S. Smith hump is out of view to the left

CSX P001-06 - October 2022
The CSX Office Car Special (OCS) made another trip up through Michigan today. There's been a ton of speculation about why the business train has been up to Michigan 3 times in the last year or so. To be honest, I have no idea why, but it does make for a fun and interesting chase, especially with some fall color is beginning to pop. I made a little adventure out of it by catching up with the train down in CSX's yard in Walbridge, just south of Toledo. I ended up chasing them back up to Plymouth, although I did skip the Detroit leg of the trip. More details in each picture!
