Rj Corman Western Ohio Lines ST Marys, SPEG, Greenville
Well I was determined to go railfanning yesterday even though the wind was terribly cold. I caught RJ Corman west of St Marys around 11:30am and stuck with them til 4pm. I managed to get 9 videos although 2 were terrible since I still am not used to my fiance's camera. They were returning from Lima when I found them, then they switched gons at omnisource in St Marys. Then i had to hang around while they got lunch at the marathon station. Next they switched at their distribution center. They brought in a coil car so maybe someone wants to catch them heading to minster tomorrow? Then off to Coldwater to switch hoppers at the plastic factory. They switched Verspack on Staeger last, trading 2 empties for 3 full. Hopefully next time I can spend a day following them it will be 80 out with no blasted wind.

Re: Rj Corman st marys to coldwater
I remember growing up in St. Marys and they did not seem to move that fast back then! How fast would you say they were going?

Re: Rj Corman st marys to coldwater
Wow! Granted I lived in St. Marys and it has been a few years but that seems pretty fast for the track condition....maybe they have improved it since I moved.alittlevanwerty wrote:Maybe 35 outside of town.

Re: Rj Corman st marys to coldwater
I decided anytime I fan RJ Corman or have any Corman things I will just post them under here.
Well today I caught RJC 1856 idling in Buckland with the ballast hoppers. I thought at first they brought in a Loco from Kentucky because it had a silver stripe, further inspection revealed it was one of their regulars GP16 1856.
Brand new paint and looking sharp!

Last week I got my last view of it in its old coat.

Re: Rj Corman st marys to coldwater
Accidentally caught up with an RJ Corman train heading to Lima today but had time to film. My first video of 1856 in its new coat.
Also met a Corman employee in Buckland, he tells me several of the stored coal hoppers between Coldwater and Ft Recovery blew over in the storm.
Here are some pictures my wife took while I filmed.

Re: Rj Corman st marys to coldwater
Thanks, I had been wanting to catch them passing it for some time.
The engine over-nighted in Lima and I caught the return trip today.

Re: Rj Corman st marys to coldwater
Thanks! I do enjoy your videos especially when you get active rail customers in them too. I think I counted 106 cars on the CF&E video. This one I am very confident there are 6 carsalittlevanwerty wrote:More videos of them passing the elevator AARR
