Spent the day tracking ALCO switchers across Ohio. The AC&J was high on the list....for some reason, it had always escaped my notice. Operations usually start at 0500 and are over by 0900....hmm, need to go back during the longest day!! The Toledo Lake Erie & Western still has all its Alco's, but condition of both track and equipment has really deteriorated since the last time I visited them.Tomorrow....Lake States!!!
