Description:

Indiana & Ohio Railroad - Cab Ride

Climb aboard the diesel cab of an Indiana & Ohio GP30, former Nickel Plate engine, and enjoy the view of the railroad as a train crew would see it.

This event was sponsored by the West Central Ohio Model Railroad Club, Inc., of Sidney, Ohio. The purpose of the trip was a Fall railroad passenger excursion from Lima, Ohio to Springfield, Ohio and return. The trip was held on Saturday, October 13, and again on Sunday, October 14, 2001
