Where exactly is/ was Cincinnati Junction located?

Unread post by BamaSubdivision94 »

I've been watching Green Frog's DT&I/ Grand Trunk series, specifically Volume 1 which contains footage of the Cincinnati area just before and shortly after GTW acquired the DT&I in the early 80's. Near the beginning the narrator mentioned a location known as Cincinatti Junction where the B&O (St. Louis line), C&O (line to West Virginia), L&N (line to Louisville and Atlanta), NYC (line to Indianapolis) and SR (line to Chattanooga) all met. Does this area still exist today and whether or not it does, what is it's exact location? I've tried looking on Google Maps but the maze of tracks in Cincinnati is confusing and I couldn't tell.

Thanks!

It's where the Southern bridge crossed into Ohio and the C&O/L&N came in from northern Kentucky. On Google maps look for the Southern bridge and just north of that is Eight St and you'll see the whole mix of tracks still left. Not quite as many as 30 plus years ago when footage was shot for the videos.
