Let's start spring break out-Ohio style! If you click on the photo of the two NS engines of the Captina Mine run you will notice that it is snowing! Yes, it is Ohio and yes it is April, so what else is new?
I caught these two engines in the yard at Powhattan Point. I am wondering, is the left one getting sand or fuel?

On http://american-rails-forums.com/ a member asked about the cars on the old B&O line on the Harmar Side of Marietta. As I was returning home, I stopped and took some shots of the attractions there. Unlike Tuesday, on this day the sun was out and it was close to 70 degrees!

I don't know what the engine is beside the C&O caboose. Obviously this caboose didn't ride these rails when B&O ran the show.


Here are two coaches that have been, at one time, converted to a restaurant? I don't know as the cars are empty and a for rent sign hangs in front of one.









One car still had Christmas lights and decorations showing through the windows.
Hopefully, someone more knowledge about the B&O than me can identify the cars.





This is an interesting boxcar. C&O? B&O? Chessie?
The letter stands for "Historic Harmar Village Bridge Company"
To the left of the car is the bridge across the Muskingtum River.


Well that is my short visit to Marietta.
