A branch of the I&O runs past my backyard, 2 trains a day, along the old Hocking Valley line. It's usually powered by a GP-35 that has had the BN painted out with black paint and numbered but not lettered. Has been recently powered by GP30s and a GP9. Same kind of paint schemes. Should be easy to do a modern shortline with the exsisting locos and some of the modern cars offered lately.
