4. Well not all of our favorite signals got replaced! Westbound signal “Onion” (onion farm nearby) at north side of Carey. That’s a long signaled siding on the right that leads to National Lime & Stone and the Wheeling & Lake Erie. CSX signal Carey OH.

5. Rail Trusts Equipment Inc. SW-1200 97 is ex-Lancaster & Chester nee-PRR. Parked on the siding at the west end of Carey, I presume National Lime must have it leased, but I can’t say for sure.
