The line sat without use for 14 years. It was a part of a spur that ran between Zanesville Ohio and Thurston Ohio in the early 1900's. Now there are just 14 miles of track remaining from the OC New Lex line to Glass Rock Ohio. The heart of the line comes in the form of the old yard at E. Fultonham. It once had a roundhouse and foundary and a steam engine repair shop. We are trying to preserve the local history of this line as it served the local industries well and the coal fields in area.
That track is in deplorable condition. Looks like it needs some new rails and ties, maybe a little grading work and new some basil rocks, or perhaps the line is a simple industrial spur.
Congratulations

Where is the sound?

My cheap camera at the time did not have sound. This was taken with an older still camera in video mode.

Actually it is in running condition and last fall cleared 5 miles of track.

Is it ever going to cut anything, or is it being taken for scrap?!
