Central Ohio

To Photos

This page carries photos from locations in Marion, Mansfield, Newark, Columbus, Coshocton, Circleville, Washington Court House, and the former Ohio Central, now G&W,  territory.

You'll find a page on Train Order Classics devoted to the Marion Union Station which is worth a visit when you are in the Marion area.


Ohio Central Closed to Visitors

Genesee & Wyoming, the owner of the Ohio Central railroads, is not railfan friendly because of actions by some so-called fans on their other railroad properties. You still can photograph G&W/OC trains from public property, such as road crossings, etc., but please DO NOT try to go into Morgan Run, Newark, or other G&W/OC yards and facilities.
