Eastern Railroad Discussion > NRHS convention ?'s in Ohio

Going to go up to follow the steamers for the NRHS convention and
wanted to follow the day it ran to Newark and back throught
Coshocton.

What i would like to ask is,

What would be a Good GUESSTIMATE as to when it will roll south
throuhght Coshocton?
ETA on Newark?
Dep from Newark?

I would like to find a spot between Coshocton and Newark for the
Southbound.
Take my 2 boys to see it in Newark and setup for a shot Northbound
between Newark and Coshocton.

Is this the "Panhandle"?
What would be the AAR frequency to listen too?

Thank you in Advance
Bill

This is what I found:

Its not much but it will provide a window

I think the Panhandle is/was an E-W RR so I'm not sure what you mean by "south" but, between Newark and Cochoctan there are some nice places--including the siding I think it's called Black Run, east of Newark where the highway sweeps up and over the RR. Also an overpass at Dresden where you can get a nice pic in foliage. On the east side of Cochoctan there is a nice elevator that makes a good prop, as well as the depot. There are locations east including Newcomerstown and a nice bridge at Tyndall for westbounds in the afternoon light.

This gleaned frm the memory banks from the 2004 Dennison RR days..

There's an excellent sweeping curve in Conesville.

The Highway 83 overpass on the south side of Coshocton is OK: http://www.ocsteam.com/2003fallphoto/oc10190312.jpg

Yes, Dennison to Newark is part of PRR's former Pittsburgh-to-St. Louis line across the "panhandle" of W. Va.
