Ohio Northern Railway

[Y@]

The name comes from one of my original paper railroads (way back in the day) but is now being used as a regional /shortline carrier to compliment the IORY.

Here's the basic (for now) layout of the OHNR. They operate over the former CSX/CR/NYC Toledo Branch between Toledo and Columbus, as well as the NS Lima district between Blair Yard in Fostoria and Lima.

More details to come.

Here's what the OHNR roster looks like now. You'll notice that several units are missing. Those units have either been retired, or are leased to the HOSO.
