A shot I've had in mind for long while, waiting for a top and tailed train at the right time (though this could've done with being half an hour later), and the sun being out, and me being available... 701501 is escorted over the viaduct at Mansfield by 47749, and hanging on the back on its first run since gaining celebrity status, is 56081. 14/09/22 5Q11 0800 Old Dalby-Worksop Yd.

On a perfect clear late Summer morning, NS train 12V is led by the Pennsy Heritage unit as it splits the position light signals at CP West Mans as they roll into Mansfield, Ohio on namesake rails. These signals protect the diamond with the Ashland Railway's former B&O line which gives them access to the large grain elevator in the background. Thanks to Zach for waking me up and to Scott and Wak for their assistance.

After pulling past the Pennsylvania PL bridge guarding CP Mans, NS 171 shoves back into the Mansfield Yard to retrieve the rest of their train with Delaware and Hudson heritage unit #1080 on point. I haven’t had much luck with the Fort Wayne Line west of Alliance in the past, so I’m grateful it worked out this time around.

After yet another hospital appointment in Mansfield, we decided to visit this popular Italian restaurant. It is housed in quite a distinctive building with a more modern bar and daytime inside and outdoor seating area added to the left, as you look at the photo. I could only eat their ‘homemade’ soup with crusty Italian bread due to my condition whilst my wife had the chicken skewers. I must research to find out what the original use of this quite building was.
