[NW Mailing List]

Goofed , east of Tylerville Road in the old Oak and More building.  You can
see the building from I-75 with ease.  Butler Street is in Hamilton where
the New Castle District, Cincinnati- Richmond Line, splits off to the east
of the CSX/B&O/CH&D Toledo Division.   New River Junction is north of that
where the NS, ex-PRR line swings west to 7 Mile and Camden.  

 

You get to Sharon Yard from I-75 by going east on 126 Glendale Milford Pike

 

The new route to Butler Street in Hamilton is 129 Michael Fox Highway; you
can only go west there.

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
