How far back does anyone remember this line? This was actually part of the Pennsylvania RR's panhandle from Stubenville, down through Newark and Columbus, and onwards way out to Kansas City. The Baltimore and Ohio had trackage rights from Newark to Columbus. I still remember seeing Pennsy passenger trains on this line using E units back in the 60s and early 70s. In the 60s, Pennsy was still using a set of ABBA F units to pull tonage on this line, of course among GP7s and 9s, as well as Alco units. I loved seeing this video and thanks for the post. The line is just a shadow of it's former self, but the jaunt down memory lane was a blast, and with all the abandonments and mergers that have occurred, it is amazing to see this line still in use! Once again, thanks!
I do believe that was Rodger B as the engineer. This video was very early, notice the CUOH reporting marks on the units. These where some of the first trains in and out of Columbus. We rode in to Buckeye on a similar train with a OHCR GP30 leading once. I was a bit to young to remember it clear enough...but do remember Newark and the notch 8 climb to summit and going through columbus into the yard.
Great video, wish we could get more information with this. Must have been some of the first runs Jerry did after getting the CUOH as the units where marked as such. There is also another video floating around labeled as first run into columbus.
I live next to the NS line here in Columbus and also in Springfield during the Conrail days and since Buckeye was downgraded then closed, huge drop off in traffic. During Conrail and early 2000s, there were always trains on that line.
Has to be my grandfather Roger Beighley with his airforce hat on running i believe the conductor was Denny i know they worked together all the time in the early days of the panhandle that smile he gives never changed and i work for NS out of Pittsburgh i swear the railroad bugs contagious!
Wonder where the long building is that the locomotive pushes a rail car into toward the end? Before and after that maneuver, the locomotives are switching within sight of the Steltzer Road overpass. There are several long buildings on the north side of the rail line between Steltzer and Cassaday Rd. But none of them today have a spur going inside.

Made that trek many times to Parsons. I'm sure I'll see the C&N many more times yet.

I believe that's my grandfather Roger Beighley and Denny working the ground love these vidoes!
That's one hard working conductor!
This was a very intriguing video. Especially that one part.

What a great video thanks for sharing.
I pass over the former buckeye daily and it’s a huge bummer.
Thanks for sharing.
Nice thanks for sharing
Sure don't need to worry about Buckeye being clogged up anymore.

22:00 An early cell phone? How cool.
Cool look. Thanks.
8:00 Love the former Southern Pacific GP35, still wearing the Kodachrome paint scheme!
nice video sir

Cool footage!
Such a shame they closed this yard down.
No wonder it takes so long now days to switch. 3 locomotives fighting over 1 boxcar. Seems Inefficient if you need 2 crews. Just wondering
??? It's one crew all the engines do what the leader does and they may not all be running pretty efficient move time wise.
