The new Ohio Central is a completely different raiload which runs East of Columbus on what used to be PRR's "Panhandle" division. The T&OC (also called the Ohio Central) passed through the West and South side of Columbus, crossed the N&W at a tower whose name escapes me (North of Valley Crossing)and went Southeast to Corning, Ohio where it served Ohio's coal fields. It connected at Corning with the Kanawha & Michigan (also part of NYC) which then went on into West Virginia. The T&OC/K&M trackage is still in service today operated, I believe, by CSX taking coal trains to Toledo.  There's not much business left for Ohio's high sulfur coal.
