Album Info:Recieved word that both Rio Grande Painted Tunnel Motors would be on the outbound Wheeling 430 job from Lima. It was a no brainer to go out and chase it. Enjoy!

CSX 3404
Title:  CSX 3404
Description:  The day prior to when I took this trip I was in Cincinnati with a buddy when I was scrolling on Facebook. The Wheeling transfer job to the IORY in Lima was utilizing BOTH DRGW Tunnel Motors, and with the following day off, I knew I couldnt pass up on something so spectacular, as both units had never been paired together on a train to Lima in some time. The following morning, I woke up early and made the drive to Lima. Since the crew had gotten in late the day before, they would not be coming on duty until later in the day, which gave me the opportunity to grab some other trains around town. When I approached Lima, the scanner came to life giving me a heads up to a southbound CSX M209. I went down to DT&I Junction to grab it coming by the CPLs. A lot of morning shadows still covered the tracks here, but I did what I could.

IORY 7383
Title:  IORY 7383
Description:  I decided to head back to Ford Park Yard to see if the Wheeling crew had arrived. They had not. However, LSW-1 the Ford Park Yard hustler, was pulling a long string of cars across CP Morris by the searchlight signals. A former CSX Dash 8 is todays yard unit. Shocking to thing that the big GEs are now tackling these jobs too.

IORY 2101
Title:  IORY 2101
Description:  As I was photographing the yard job, the Lima B Job, L221, was getting permission to go north on CSX. I was able to make it down to DT&I Junction in time, but not in time to get on the correct side for the sun. One geep and one hopper car is the power for the B Job this day. I would have thought the CSX Dash 8 and Geep would be on opposite trains, but apparently not.

WE 5412
Title:  WE 5412
Description:  The Wheeling crew soon arrived and began to head from the east yard to the south yard to grab their train. The crew utilized the wye, which meant WE 5413 would be the leader east. A bonus for me as I had shot 5412 running east on the CF&E the year prior. A gaggle of other railfans had shown up at this point as well.

IORY 4521
Title:  IORY 4521
Description:  I knew that the IORY LNL was still out there, and I had wanted to get a shot of it passing the distant signal for DT&I Junction, but upon hearing that the Wheeling had a crew, I changed plans and went to watch it with all the other railfans. Well, that turned out to be a mistake, as when we all moved down to Bible Road, the headlight of the LNL popped around the corner and approached us. A pair of former BNSF Dash 9s were the power for todays train.

NS 6356
Title:  NS 6356
Description:  All while the IORY and Wheeling trains were getting out of the way, NS L73 was waiting for their chance into Ford Park Yard. Since the Wheeling was out of the yard at this point, and that was my objective, I didnt wait to see NS come into the yard and opted for just a quick shot of it sitting just down from Sugar Street.
