Looks like G&W leased another locomotive, HLCX 8140. I chased the LNL with 6637/8161/8140 getting them 6 times.

Ottawa never has shipped by rail.
Columbus Grove does 3-6 cars at a time.

A late-running, monster LNL just got back onto the I&O at DT&I Junction, north of Lima @ 2pm. IORY 9500 and 4085 giving it all they had with easily 80+ cars in tow. No exact count, but lots of mixed freight on the head end (including several CHs and loaded centerbeams), followed by about 10-12 coil cars and a large cut (30-40 cars) of pig iron on the rear. Pics later...

Side question, does the 9500 still have its 20 cylinder engine or no?

Probably not, it's a SD45R.

It still has it's 20 cylinder engine. Depending on when it went thru the rebuild program it was either derated to 3200 hp or stayed 3600 depending on the generator installed. Some of the de rated 3200 ones ended up back to 3600 if the generator needed replaced at some point depending what type of generator was on hand.

I&O ran an empty grain train north around 1pm with a pair of CSX GEs on point, currently still waiting on the I&O at Leipsic. Met the southbound LNL at Ottawa, who had just finished working on the loop. IORY 9500, 4085, and 5012 for power on the LNL, with around 35 cars (3 CHs up front, followed by 1 or 2 coil cars, with the rest being pig iron gons).

Nah, not the first one. 5013 & 5014 have been north of Lima a few times. One of them I believe has been the Lima yard engine for quite awhile

4084-9500-4085 for power.

Also, the 5012 was sitting crewless at the south end of Ford Park in Lima with a large cut of cars.
