Look How High These Trains Are Above The Road! Train Comes Around Reverse Curves & Gives Horn Salute At Dusk! 6 CSX & Norfolk Southern Trains Near Piketon, Ohio At Greggs Hill. CSX And Norfolk Southern Trains Come Together Right Where DT&I Trains Once Passed. Take A Look At One Of Ohio's Best Railfan Secrets!
I spent 8 hours at one of my favorite Railfan locations. This area is best in the winter when the leaves are off the trees. It is difficult to film CSX here in the summer. This is Greggs Hill. Greggs Hill is located between Piketon and Waverley, Ohio. Usually the NS line is much busier than CSX. Today it took over 4 hours before I saw an NS train. NS uses 161.190 and CSX uses 160.230 to call out the signals. I recommend using 452.9375 for end of train device because it is easy for a train to sneak up.
First we see a CSX southbound manifest train cross the big bridge which I will refer to as a trestle. Three hours later a CSX coal train passes over the trestle running northbound. An hour and a half later a Norfolk Southern train finally shows up. It is running railroad west although it is geographically northbound at this location.
Then while I am showing the trestle up close, an eastbound NS double stack intermodal train comes. I had to really hustle to get that one at the railroad crossing. After that train passed I moved a short distance to look at the area where the DT&I Railroad passed through until the 80s.
An hour and a half after the intermodal train passed by I hear an eastbound NS train approaching on the scanner. A defect detector a few miles south of here can easily be received. We see the train coming through the reverse curves and give me a horn salute. That was awesome! I decided to leave at this point.
I drove about 5 miles and then heard an EOT signal come over the radio. It was weak so I wasn't sure if it was the train that I had just filmed or another train coming. I stopped at the nearby Dollar General to get some energy drinks for the long drive home and stay close to the tracks. As soon as I got in the truck I hear the train approaching westbound on the scanner. It is one minute till 7pm. I filmed this one from my truck. It was a double stack intermodal. That was a nice surprise and then I headed for home. The whole drive home is in a very remote area of southern Ohio and devoid of any big towns. It's a fun drive because there is almost no traffic and you can cruise like a bat out of Heck. Lol
