Rails to Cincinnati 2008

This video reveals why Cincinnati, Ohio is considered the "Railway Gateway To The South". Cincinnati, an unlikely location for a railroad gateway, is located amidst seven hills and the Ohio River. The reason why this location became a hub, is at one time, seven railroads converged here. Today, Norfolk-Southern and CSX are the major players. NS has traffic coming from the New Castle Line (Ft. Wayne to Cincinnati) . The Dayton District (Columbus to Cincinnati) and from the First District (Danville KY to Cincinnati). The First District is also a "link" to Chattanooga which in turn is a connector to rail lines leading to Atlanta, Florida, Birmingham, New Orleans, and other points. CSX has traffic coming from Indianapolis , Toledo and Louisville. Two major yards are located in Cincinnati. Gest Street Yard which is surrounded on three sides CSX's Queensgate Yard, and belongs to NS. This video will show more than 20 minutes of yard action in these two yards. You'll see trains arriving from the north and south waiting their turn to either bypass the yard or enter for switching and classification. The vantage point for taking video of yard action from three different viaducts. You'll see locations leading into Cincinnati from both the Kentucky and Ohio sides of the Ohio River. Panoramic views are also shown from two high overlooks on either side of the Ohio River. To ease congestion of traffic to and from the north. NS and CSX entered an agreement to bi-directional running of northbound and southbound trains from Hamilton, Ohio. This operation is shown in this program. Full color, sound, and narration.
