WVRR LS-750 #25 - Whitewater Valley RR
Title:  WVRR LS-750 #25 - Whitewater Valley RR
Description:  Originally built by the Lima-Hamilton Company in June of 1951 for the Cincinnati Union Terminal, this unit ended up in passenger service for the Whitewater Valley RR. According to Wikipeida, Lima-Hamilton never gave its locomotives model numbers in the ordinary sense. The model designations shown were created by railroad buffs using an L for Lima, S, RS, or T for switcher, roadswitcher, or transfer, followed by a number representing the horsepower. As of 2017, this loco was still on the property and looking even better than it does in my photo.

WVRR LS-750 #25 - Whitewater Valley RR
Title:  WVRR LS-750 #25 - Whitewater Valley RR
Description:  Here is another view of the former Cincinnati Union Terminal LS-750 #25 wearing its new home name, Whitewater Valley RR. Built by Lima-Hamilton in June of 1951, this plugger was still on the Whitewater Valley property as late as 2017 and looking even better than it does in my photo back in 1974!

Title:  WVRR SD10 532
Description:  Was in Oxford, OH, for my niece's graduation from Miami University when my brother called: "Hie thee to Connersville!" Glad I followed his advice; I have no doubt the visit marked the only time in my life where I'd see an operating Lima. Then again, I can always go back, eh?

WVRR 25 and WVRR 1
Title:  WVRR 25 and WVRR 1
Description:  At this point I was running extremely late so I made a mad dash for Connersville. When I arrived the Metamora Train had already left the station and the Polar Express was getting ready to load up for its next trip. With that being said I began to race south on State Road 121 to find the Metamora Train. As I passed the WWVR Yard I noticed that the Lima Diesel was up and running. I have been told that they utilize a chase engine for the Polar Express. When the train takes off, another engine will follow about 1-2 miles behind it. When it catches up with the main train they will take the train back as far as the yard before decoupling and pushing the train the rest of the way to the depot. I m not sure they they dont run the train as a push/pull operation, Maybe just more fun for the volunteers!

WVRR 25
Title:  WVRR 25
Description:  I decided to opt out on going to Noblesville with the rain being too close and that basically taking out any chances of doing flash photography. So, I decided to wait for the 5 PM departure and get one last shot of WWVR 25 passing the tower as the sun set. Some nice blue light contrasting out the scene.

Description:  Despite rain coming in taking away any chances of doing flash shots, exposures were still possible since the rain was light. So, I waited for the train to come back and did some exposures before they would bring the train back to the shops and call it a year.
