Two
units (actual engines; not slugs!) are doing some switching at
Parsons Yard, Columbus. This yard was once part of the Hocking Valley
Railway that was merged into the C&O in 1930. The bridge that goes
over the street (to the left of the engines, but not in view) used to
say "Chesapeake & Ohio", but that is giving way to
writing that used to be on the bridge that says "Hocking Valley
Ry." For more info on the HV, click
