There have been a lot of changes in Downtown Loveland in the last 20 years. Lots of new shops and condominiums, and even the rail operator on the former B&O Midland Subdivision has changed, with B&O successor CSX Transportation passing the torch to the Indiana & Ohio Railway in 2004. But the one constant through all that change has been the train station. Several different tenants have occupied it during that time, with the current occupant being a running store, but through all the changes, it still stands, watching the daily comings and goings of people and trains through town. On August 21, 2021, it's a beautiful Saturday afternoon as our three daughters give a wave to the crew of I&O loaded stone train R601-21 in front of the depot's bay window. Appropriately enough, a rebuilt former B&O GP40, now wearing the orange and black dress of shortline and regional conglomerate Genesee & Wyoming as Indiana & Ohio Railway GP40-2 No. 3043, is leading the train on former home rails.
Not
just heritage schemes, not just commemorative schemes - this album is devoted to some of the world's most interesting paint schemes, past or present.
My photos that I have taken on lines operated the Indiana & Ohio and it's affiliate operations, including the Central Railroad of Indiana (CIND), and the Chicago, Fort Wayne & Eastern Railroad (CF&E).
