OHCR 4023
Title:  OHCR 4023
Description:  The train backs down far enough to get a wider frame with the elevator. The sun has completely set now, and a lot of the other fans are heading their separate ways toward home. I was invited to grab some pizza at the East of Chicago Joint downtown by a friend who had been taking photos in the group. It was good to get to sit down with him as I usually only get to see him once or twice a year if that. After that, we parted ways, and I went home. What. A. Day. ! Definitely hope to get a train on this stretch of track again soon, and also get the 4023 leading on other parts of the CFE!

OHCR 4023
Title:  OHCR 4023
Description:  And just like that it was time for the real highlight of the day. I had posted about this train on Facebook earlier in the day, and all the fans from the area came flocking to the PRR to see this very rare occasion. I wasnt very sure about it at first, but I was convinced by a friend to grab the train at West Yard again, where an original PL Signal guards the eastbound movements. Im glad he convinced me too, as this shot turned out to be one of my favorites from the whole trip. I bet theres not a lot of railfans out there that can say theyve shot an OHCR by these signals! Just like that, the chase west was on!

OHCR 4023
Title:  OHCR 4023
Description:  This took some real determination to get to, but I ended up managing to get to East Colsan to grab the train passing the PL signals there. The original heads were removed from the bridge by Conrail, but the bridge itself still stands. Conrail replaced these signals with trilights, but had recently been replaced again by the CFE with PL heads, made just down the road at Mead Electronics in Bucyrus.

OHCR 4023
Title:  OHCR 4023
Description:  I was convinced that CFE 14 would be held up by NS again at Colsan, so I went to the grain elevator east of town to grab the train passing it. I hadnt heard them key up NS to get across, so I called a friend, and sure enough NS let them right across, so they were still out in front of me. I knew there was no way I would be able to get back out ahead of it before it began doing its work at Upper, so I decided to just drive directly there. Sure enough, I found the train, and a ton of other rail photographers.

OHCR 4023
Title:  OHCR 4023
Description:  The sun is set, but the railfans are still out, and the train is still working! CFE 14 pulls the outbounds and inbounds out in order to shove the inbounds into the elevator.
