Join us for a tour of the Norfolk-Southern Dayton District.
The Dayton District
is a railroad line owned and operated by the Norfolk Southern Railway in the state of Ohio. The line
runs from Columbus, southwest to Cincinnati, along former Pennsylvania Railroad and New York Central Railroad lines.
Its east end is at or near the Columbus District, Sandusky District, and West Virginia Secondary; its south end is near
Bond Hill, where it meets CSX Transportation's Cincinnati Terminal Subdivision and the Indiana and Ohio Railway's
Midland Subdivision. Along the way, it junctions the New Castle Subdivision at Evendale. This video will cover the portion
of the line between Middletown and London Ohio.This program was
shot between April of 2008 and February of 2009. During most of 2008 this line saw on average, 15 trains per 24 hour
period, not including extras and specials. Towards the end of 2008, the recession began to take its toll on the
railroad business of the Dayton District.The General Motors Assembly
Plant in Moraine (Dayton) Ohio was closed for good in December of 2008. As a result, 5 trains were abolished due to
this plant's closing.
