Steam & Excursion > American Freedom Train in Cincinnati and environs circa 1975Date: 11/26/15 18:27 American Freedom Train in Cincinnati and environs circa 1975 Author: milfordgap Date: 11/26/15 18:30 Re: American Freedom Train in Cincinnati and environs circa 1975 Author: milfordgap One more display picture followed by action shots at Glendale, OH and north of Hamilton, OH on the B&O.

Museum front yard in Baltimore, and the museum management does NOT care one bit. They honestly do not know nor appreciate history. They are a farce for sure.

Ed Date: 11/27/15 09:56 Re: American Freedom Train in Cincinnati and environs circa 1975 Author: BoilingMan It's Reading 2101. Ross re-numbered it AFT 1 for the tour. Afterwards the 2101 number was restored for the Chessie Steam runs.

my dad took us down when I was 5 or 6, so I don't remember all of the details, including which locomotive was there. Did the 4449 ever visit cincinnati on the AFT? Date: 11/27/15 14:06 Re: American Freedom Train in Cincinnati and environs circa 1975 Author: BoilingMan We did pass through Cincinnati again (twice actually) in the summer of '76 to get to Dayton- but still w the T-1.

The '49 got to Chattanooga with a Southern Railway fan trip, but with the AFT itself, the 4449 got as far north as Washington DC and took the train south to the tour's end in Miami. SR |
