Former B&O yard in Hamilton, Ohio (Just curious)

Trains Magazine General Discussion

When I was in my late teens, my family and I lived in Hamilton, Ohio and I remember a multi-track B&O crossing over a state route (Route 4?) near downtown and a safe manufacturing company. I believe the B&O used Lima switchers at that time (early 1960’s). Does anyone have any info on this? Just curious. I loved having to wait for trains there!

Can’t tell you anything about the yard but I started working at Armco Middletown in 1969 and there were five or six B&O Limas stored on site as spares. Years ago Trains did an article on them. I am guessing sometime around 1972.
