Heads up Cincinnati
Author: conraildan2

Just saw a light engine move of 10 Amtrak p40s heading west on the ex C&O into Cincinnati. They should be in Covington at this time 2:30pm

I'd guess Indianapolis since Amtrak has a shop there. So maybe in Hamilton they will take the b&o to Indy just a guess

See post on the passenger board:

It is a passenger train equipment move, right?

Here is a shot of the "funeral" train passing the Glendale depot shortly before 4:00 pm in the rain.

nice picture, i was at the Duke Energy Walter C. Beckjord Power plant in New Richmond, OH and I heard a different air horn across the river over in kentucky . So I stopped doing my job of shoveling coal and saw the engine move go by, then i quickly posted it on here :)

I am not sure it's really a "funeral" train per se. My guess is that Amtrak will rebuild most of these engines or use them for parts. So maybe a "donor" train...
