Cincinnati RRing

[NW Mailing List]

West of Tylersville? Is that near the 4 bypass? You aren't talking about the Sharonville yard since that's east of I-75. Or is that another name for Butler Street?

Winton Place station has been closed for about 40 years now.  It is no longer a great place to watch trains.  The depot building has been moved into Sharon Woods.
 
 The mega- train facility is Cincinnati Junction on the west side of Tylersville Road and I-75.

The message below (that begins besides) is from a rail friend of mine in Cincinnati - I asked him for suggestions for you & this is his response. I spent a year in Cincy, while in college in the mid 50's, & found it to be a very scenic, friendly town. I have visited about once every 5 years since then. Winton Place (north of town) is a great place to watch trains. Enjoy.

Besides the railway Museum of Greater Cincinnati there is a brand new mega-train facility that opens this weekend. There is a 25,000 sq.ft train area. This all in G scale.
There is a web site EnterTrainment junction.com. There is also the Cincinnati  Historical Society in Union Terminal that has  a ho scale of rail lines in downtown Cincy in the 30's and 40's
 
 Also at the terminal is Tower A that has a great view of the CSX Queengate yard and the NS Gest St yard Tower A is open on the weekend . It is operated by The Cincinnati Railroad Club I believe they have a web site which might list an evening that they are open. 
 
Railway Museum is open Wed & Sat 10 to 4 . Admission is $ 4.00
 
Hope this gives you some talking points
