Cincinnati Railfanning - May 1995: Winton Place, Springdale, Queensgate Yard, Norwood, & Erlanger KY

The Cincinnati, Ohio area offered a wide variety of railroad action in May of 1995. CSX predecessor paint schemes were still prevalent including Chessie System, Family Lines System, Seaboard Coast Line, and early CSX stealth paint. Older locomotives like U18Bs and SD20s were still earning their keep along with newer wide nose 8-40CWs. Foreign power also made an appearance through town including Delaware & Hudson, Union Pacific, Central Vermont and leasers like National Railway Equipment. Wide nose locomotives had not yet been delivered to Norfolk Southern, so high noses & spartan cabs were the norm across the system.
In this video we travel around the Cincinnati region to locations in Ohio including Winton Place, Norwood, Springdale, CSX's Queensgate Yard, & Norfolk Southern's Gest Street Yard. We also travel south of the Ohio River to Ludlow & Erlanger, KY along Norfolk Southern's CNO&TP to Chattanooga, TN.

Great video thank you! I used to watch the trains as a kid in Carthage up by the Distillery in the 80's. When Conrail and Chessie ruled and Norfolk Southern and CSX were just emerging

Nice video, I enjoy the Early csx stuff.

That bridge going over Vine Street in St Bernard was the last time I ever saw a Chessie loco in 2004

Awesome I know this place 😀🙌❤️

I didn't remember the northbound Winton Place signal having a 3rd marker on Main 2. I guess that was changed when the 3rd Main was added?

[@atsf93]

Likely so. The 3rd main was being constructed at this time.

Curious why it goes into single track once the Toledo sub veers off to the left by the Rally's? I assume it's because of the bridge going over Spring Grove?

[@atsf93]

Yes this is the "head on connection" over Spring Grove Ave that allowed B&O trains to reach the CH&D / CSX Toledo Subdivision without making a backup move near NA Tower in St Bernard.
