I got a call back in January from a friend saying that the steam schedule for 630 included a trip down the CNO&TP first district. Being that I live only 8 miles from this Location I sprang into action. I spent the last 6 months leading up to last weekend chain sawing, cutting, and hacking at brush, poison ivy, and felling 50 foot trees along the First district to clear out some of the classic honey holes along the line. Aside from my favorite bridge just 7 miles down the line, this is one of my favorite spots in the region.
Norfolk Southern 957 with Southern 630 leading powers through the old Cincinnati Southern era town of Blanchett.
