Shortlines, Industrials, and Railroad Museums of Ohio

With the immense amount of railroad  trackage across Ohio in the early part of this century, there is a huge amount of trackage involved in shortlines and industrial railroads across the buckeye state.  There is also a wonderful amount of railroad and railroad related museums across Ohio because of Ohio's railroad heritage.  For more pictures see the picture gallery using the link below.

One of the least known rebuilders of locomotives in Ohio is Ohio railway supply in Kent, Ohio. To get there you will find directions in my Kent railfan guide and additional pictures in the picture gallery.

Just outside of Kent there is also the Portage Limestone company which uses it's own ex. Conrail Gp-10 to switch their gravel and aggregate plant.  The city of Kent also decorates this locomotive for Christmas and uses it to deliver Santa during their Festival of Lights as seen in the picture below.
