With the formation of Conrail on April 1 1976 the DT&I gained operating rights into the Southern Gest St. yard. By the way of the former Pennsy line along the Cincinnati riverfront.. The engine terminal for the Southern in Cincinnati sat on the Ky, side.
My favorite railroad when I was young and even today. When I was growing up I can remember seeing these big orange beasts lumbering around the Jackson shops and yard.
