The newest and cleanest Indiana & Ohio locomotive, GP38-2 No. 3565, originally built as Rio Grande GP40 No. 3053 in 1966, leads an I&O / Cincinnati Railway Passenger Special for I&O employees past the former PRR interlocking tower at Rendcomb Junction in the Linwood area of Cincinnati on June 13, 2023. The trip operated with the Cincinnati Dinner Train's equipment, and ran as a lunch special over part of the normal CDT route for I&O management and employees with I&O Geeps on each end.

Making a rare run across the west end of the Oasis Subdivision due to track work on the east end, the Cincinnati Dinner Train passes the Thermo Fisher Scientific Plant in Reading behind an Ohio Central SD40-2 borrowed from CDT host road Indiana & Ohio.

On a rainy and very mild, almost Pacific Northwest-like summer afternoon in the Ohio Valley, the Indiana & Ohio Railway's Blue Ash Local returns to McCollugh Yard in Norwood, Ohio, after working a customer on the Blue Ash Subdivision, seen here crossing the bridge over another I&O line, the Oasis Subdivision, behind I&O GP50 No. 5013 (originally built as BN 3103). The interlocking on the Oasis Sub, as the sign notes, is known as CP RIDGE, which is still guarded by classic Pennsylvania Railroad Position Light Signals.
