The following is our first guest post by Giles Kennedy, taking a quick look at the Sandusky District around the Columbus area. Giles runs a Facebook railfan group called The Ohio Railroader. If you like this article, be sure to check out his page and become a fan. Finally, if you would like to guest post on Ohio Valley Railroads give me a shout. We accept articles from all over the state (and sometimes even out of it).
