Eastern Railroad Discussion > A CSX Pair in Downtown DaytonDate: 07/24/14 16:30 A CSX Pair in Downtown Dayton Author: bnsfsd70 On 7/11/2014, I stopped by downtown Dayton, OH and photographed a CSX local coming through downtown along the elevated former Dayton Union Terminal right-of-way. The two surviving main lines through town are the Norfolk Southern (ex-CR, exx-NYC) line between Columbus and Cincinnati and the CSX (ex-B&O) line between Toledo and Cincinnati.
Photo 1: Here, CSX 2222 and 6921 pull a local over one of Dayton's iconic Trolley Bus lines and past Smokin' BBQ in the old White Tower building. Photo 2: The ex-Conrail C40-8W #7352 heads north with an auto train, complete with multiple flats filled with car frames. Thanks for looking, Jeff Carlson Date: 07/24/14 17:29 Re: A CSX Pair in Downtown Dayton Author: jmbreitigan Nice lighting in your second photo.

As mentioned above, the northernmost track is the CSX (ex-B&O) line between Toledo and Cincinnati, while the southernmost track is Norfolk Southern (ex-CR, exx-NYC) line between Columbus and Cincinnati. From what I gather, the two tracks never actually cross, though there is a connection at some point. - Jeff Carlson Date: 07/25/14 15:57 Re: A CSX Pair in Downtown Dayton Author: ns1000 Nice pics!!
