A beautiful afternoon in Lima, OH.  Pretty sure this is the ex PRR / B&O crossing.  I think the train was solid company service ballast cars.

I was at that very junction a couple of years ago .. The tower is gone .. I seem to recall .. and the station in the background is the water works or something now ..

Those are PRR company service wheel cars. Note they are light colored (probably still gray) with black lettering.
