Does anyone here have experience working with Over The Top Construction of Seville, OH to move a heavyweight passenger car (or any passenger car for that matter). I am also interested in finding out about other car movers. I haven't been able to find out much about moves that have been handled by OTTC but they were recommended by CSX. Thanks for any insight. |

While I haven't worked directly with him on a move, I do know he's moved quite a few cars over the road. And, he knows railroad equipment. If CSX recommended him, I'd think that's not a bad thing. |

We have used Daily Express, from Carlisle, PA, for all of our over-the-road passenger car moves. - Alan Maples Everett Railroad |

I believe OTT is Jim Lesiak. He moved a Chicago El car from Grand Rapids OH to East Troy WI and also moved that Zephyr consist to Wisconsin a few years back. |
