Reinhard,
Old Geeps are not extremely rare in this area of Ohio/ Western Pa. Numerous shortlines have them on the roster. These that Ed has posted work on the Youngstown and Southeastern Railroad (former Youngstown and Southern). Indiana Box Car Company is the designated operator, and they run 3 days a week or more if needed. Currently the biggest customer is a pipe plant in Darlington Pa that is receiving pipe for gas well casing. They get at least 6 cars a week .
