Camp Chase RR 1503, Alton interlocking, west of Columbus, Ohio_
A combination Switcher Saturday and Signal Saturday photo.
After swapping interchange cars with the NS at Buckeye Yard the Camp Chase crew shoves east through the interlocking known as Alton. This was the west wye connection leading to Buckeye Yard from the Columbus - Dayton - Cincinnati main line. Camp Chase uses a few miles of the NS main line west of Columbus to access Buckeye Yard and their own industrial switching line.
The SW1500s have been replaced since the operation changed hands in 2015 from Carload Express to Indiana Box Car.
