Aerial photo from 1947.
Title:  Aerial photo from 1947.
Description:  This is probably the most well known photograph of the Crestline engine facilities, taken on July 13, 1947. At first glance it looks very much like the early 1940s photo, but there are several changes. The most obvious difference is the brick addition for the S-1 on stall #30. Parked outside the stall is the S-1. It is out of service now, note that the tenders coal bunker appears to be empty. There are some alterations to the roundhouses service tracks, and the approach to the back of stall #30 has been added. There is quite a variety of engines on the circle tracks, an H class, K-4s, M-1s, possibly a couple J-1s, and possibly L and I classes as well. Who knows whats in the roundhouse? Most likely, there are some T-1s in there. Although the Q-2 would be on the property now, I dont see any. The wreck train is clearly visible, with what appears to be a 120 ton derrick. The derrick was replaced by 1949 with a 250 ton derrick (one of 5 on the PRR) and I recall seeing a tender in the train in the early 1960s. In the bottom right corner is the stock pen, which was not owned by the PRR. Any guesses as to what the verticle boiler is for? (Photo by Glendale Hoffman)

CFE 3486
Title:  CFE 3486
Description:  And with time to spare I made it to the final location where Id get the orange unit on the front. The giant signal PRR Signal bridge at West Yard on the west side of Crestline. This is the largest PRR Signal Bridge still standing in the state of Ohio. Its too bad Conrail had to switch out the PL heads for trilights! Nonetheless, its still cool!

CSX 4549
Title:  CSX 4549
Description:  I had also been tracking a CSX SD70MACe leader on the Indy Line this morning on the front of CSX M332. I thought about going south to Sidney to grab it while I waited for the CFE to work Upper. Well, since they ended up going all the way to Crestline, that put me right by the Big 4. I shot a text to a buddy to ask where it was, right when I heard them key up dispatch saying they were ready to blast from Crestline. I assumed that the CFE would take a while to run around their train and continue west, so I took a gander and went into downtown Crestline to shoot M332. Backlit, but definitely another great catch for the day!

OHCR 4023
Title:  OHCR 4023
Description:  And just like that it was time for the real highlight of the day. I had posted about this train on Facebook earlier in the day, and all the fans from the area came flocking to the PRR to see this very rare occasion. I wasnt very sure about it at first, but I was convinced by a friend to grab the train at West Yard again, where an original PL Signal guards the eastbound movements. Im glad he convinced me too, as this shot turned out to be one of my favorites from the whole trip. I bet theres not a lot of railfans out there that can say theyve shot an OHCR by these signals! Just like that, the chase west was on!
