3 Locomotives Short Line Railroad Switching In Push Pull Mode, Industrial Railroad Spur In Ohio CCET

Video posted to facebook on September 20, 2021. Description from post.
Railway switching an industrial railroad spur in Ohio with 3 classic locomotives! This industrial railway lead serves 2 important customers for Cincinnati Eastern Railroad in Batavia, Ohio. One locomotive leads a long cut of boxcars with 2 more shoving on the rear at a railroad crossing at the entrance to the huge compound. Norfolk Southern Railroad use to work this spur when it was the Ford Motor Company. After Ford left it became Huhtamaki and also Mount Carmel Group. It is primarily served with boxcars, covered hopper cars and tank cars are sometimes seen here. This line is now served by Cincinnati Eastern Railroad CCET. First we see the train crossing Half Acre Road in Afton as it is leaving the yard. Next we see it from the other side of the tracks as it is entering the Huhtamaki and Mt Carmel Group tracks. After that we see the train as it is working Mt Carmel Group first and then switching over to the track on the right that leads to Huhtamaki. Today the spur is very busy as it is worked several times a week. The first locomotive is a General Electric B36-7 and the other two are both EMD GP15-1 units that are new to the company. This is only my fifth time to show the red units. The most interesting thing about this video is seeing 3 locomotives on the same train here and in the Top And Tail as they say in the UK. If you like the Cincinnati Eastern Railroad ( CCET ) and would like to see more of them, you are in luck son! I started a FaceBook group dedicated to this railroad that is called Cincinnati Eastern Railroad Fans. Check it out and join today! Other than my JawTooth page it is about the only place that you will find me on Facebook. I post pictures on there of CCET, answer any questions and a lot of other members also post things about CCET to that group. Like all of my accounts it is family friendly with no controversy.
Back to this video. Trains operate on 160.860 and rarely ever use an EOT. Trains normally operate Monday through Friday during regular business hours although they can operate any time that a customer needs a switch. CCET leases 69+ route miles of track from Norfolk Southern and has miles of sidings and storage tracks.
I filmed this train on Saturday, September 13, 2021. Here is a link to my FaceBook group that I started for it called Cincinnati Eastern Railroad Fans!
