Took US36 back to SR67 to SR9 so I was within 5mi of ya!!!! Scared to go past prison... Might see that I escaped!!!! Thanks alexweihmann, and chase55671. Here's a response about the switcher I got elsewhere

Emporia Grain's Alco S2 switcher was originally the Lehigh & New England 611. It was the first of 6 Alco S2 switchers acquired by the LNE. (The LNE was a small, eastern Pennsylvania, coal-hauling railroad that was abandoned in 1961) This Alco S2 may well be the only diesel on the LNE roster that remains in existence." Thats pretty cool! Where exactly was that thing? I'd like to grab a shot or two.

Where exactly was that thing? I'd like to grab a shot or two. Go up to Pendleton and take US36 East to SR109. Cross 109 and the Elevator is on the left. The switcher is behind the building closest to US36! It's easy to see and you can get better shots that I did if you have time.. I was in a hurry!
