Trains on this day in the past:

[Charlie B]

August 24, 1977. I was photographing the local into Lisbon, Ohio and was invited for a cab ride. The flagman drove my car into town so I reluctantly   accepted the ride.        
I took these last two after we got into town. The railroad was abandoned shortly after and a trail is all that is left.

Coming through the crossover at Buckeye block station in 1977. Buckeye was a manual block station wit trailing switches.  It was manned when trackwork had the track between New Galilee and East Palestine, or East Palestine and Columbiana.
