I'm planning on being in Ohio soon and I want to try somewhere other than the Chicago Line. I'm interested in railfanning Ohio Central. Can anyone tell me the best times and places? Also, I know that at one point they had at least two B23-7s in Conrail paint. Are these still around? And do they stay in one place mostly or move around the whole system?

I see at least one of the conrail paint B23-7R in Zanesville, OH I'm sure someone on here can give better detail.

The best place is Coshocton, Ohio! Go to the tracks in downtown and just wait for them! There's a few trains during the day (including coal)! Some run at night.
Here's a video, from ble643, of a coal train at Coshocton, 2011 (sometimes have helpers): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3u8W1eqA3o
Their headquarters is the old station in Coshocton!

Last may I was driving through Zanesville & saw 2 U Boats.

Those are not "U boats" at all. B23-S7, or "super sevens."

Guess I'll have to live with my error.

There's an Edit Button in the upper right hand side if you'd like to change it

No need to edit it. I've been shown the error of my ways. I'm an old fart & when I think GE I think U Boat.

I understand. When I see Huron Eastern I think Central Michigan.

Another place to find OHCR would be in Newark.
