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.
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.
