There is a closed railroad in Cincinnati that is owned by the City of Cincinnati. It might be the only railroad that is still owned by an City in the USA. The name is CNO&TP. Some railroad fans say it is or was the park of Southern Railroad. Yet from what I have found it is not. My buddy has an old ...

Happy New Year Northstar and to all railfans out there. Northstar thanks for the report! I have been pretty busy in December at work but have had the chance to get out the last week to see a little of the Peavive activity. They continue to be rather busy this winter. I have noticed several cars on s...

Glad to see you joined. The new CCET railroad has rebanded the name to Cincinnati Eastern Railroad in the last two months. They now have a few new investors and are getting an upgrade in two different engines that have been sent to Cincinnati. After NS left the rail they ran most of the rail busines...

Will watch on the cam

Interesting you say that last week I saw the I&O putting down weed killed on tracks they rarely use in the yard some that looked like they couldn't even hold more than one empty tanker. CSX NS all use weed killer matter of fact NS used some down at Clare two weeks ago. Weed killer is cheap when boug...

I noticed tonight that Rencome tower must have had a fire or lightning hit the building. I only caught it out of the corner of my eye but it looked like the roof and was black and the windows at the top of the building were black like there was a fire.

Sorry I should have said tanker storage. Most of the siding is used for tanker storage.

Northstar good info. Haven't been keeping up with the new owners and the old CCET. Just what I read on the facebook page. I have been pretty busy at work. I was over in Newtown yesterday on a motorcycle ride noticed the tracks are very shinny so I take it they must be using the tracks. After this mo...

Hot off the Press: Cincinnati East Terminal no longer exists. The legal corporate name CCET LLC has gone through some changes and is now doing business as Cincinnati Eastern Railroad. New website will be up and running in a few weeks. CCET LLC purchased 2 GE B36-7s that should be on property in the ...

Heading over to French Lick to play some golf in a few weeks. I see there is a train depot there. Was wondering if it is still in use for passenger service and if there are any freight trains that still run there or close to that area. Is there a rail yard there that I can watch trains without getti...

on the live rail cam they were talking September because they are short on MOW crews this summer

I came home from work last night around 11:15 put my car in the garage and heard a train horn blasting. Sounded like it was coming from Clare Yard. Maybe a NS bringing or taking some cars very unlikely that the CCET was running that late at night. Very unusual that NS was bringing cars that late at ...

Did some fishing today down in the Little Miami River in the south 80. River was up some but fish were biting caught three carp and six cat fish. Nice six threw them back. Was checking out the rail yard on the way back. The west end I thought they were pulling up tracks but looks like either the CCE...

Northstar you maybe correct on this one. Rail storage traffic has slowed down on the CCET. I noticed Clare Yard has been the holding tank for storage cars (tankers) and there is very few in the yard the past few weeks. NS hasn't transloaded many tankers the last few months. This is bad news for the ...

Dilly Dilly Northstar Dilly Dilly. Well said!

Northstar now that is a former! I'm sure Mark is going to say something about this in regards to the Peavine. I thought I saw a guy the other day waving at a I&O doing the same thing, a dance and flip, singing it may have been Midland Sub?

Northstar is talking about the Ag Services in Winchester Oho grain and bean company. You can look it up. They use the CCET to transport grain to Cincinnati.

I noticed something kind of interesting today. The tower signals that were bagged on the Oasis line and on parts of the Peavine are now not covered anymore. I was over by the oasis line today on red bank and checked out the tower signal lights they are off but the white bag that was over the lights ...

Midland Sub how many trains are running on the I&O out of Cincinnati east these days? The yard over by the old Walmart is packed most of the time. I was heading down 71 last night and one was heading east towards the yard

Paw you may get lucky but doubt is unless NS gives the OK to scrap the east part of the line. Nothing happening out there yet, everything has been put on hold from what I have heard. Scrappers may just give you whatever you want. NS has no use for any of the old equipment out there as most has been ...
