Thank you for sharing this video. I really enjoyed it. I grew up along C&O in N. Ft. Thomas, KY. I spent many happy hours train watching at Tower Hill and Mary Inglis Hwy. (#8), just East of Dayton, KY.

Wow! Look at Grafton back then! Just goes to show you the amount of change the diesels have brought us. No need for those servicing areas and coal tipples anymore. Thanks for posting this, I loved the Chessie System paint, and loved it even more on a steam locomotive!

Is this from a DVD? If so, may I ask the name of it and who made it?

@CSXboy1 It's been repainted in its American Freedom Train guise and is on display at the B&O Train Museum here in Baltimore.

@csxworker Great Video! This use to run on the subdivision I work on now. The old Western Maryland Hanover sub!

Actually it burned in a roundhouse fire in Silver Grove, KY, not Cincinnati. It was then cosmetically restored to its' American Freedom Train 1 configuration and is now sitting in horrible condition at the B&O Railroad Museum here in Baltimore.
