Railfanning Berea, Ohio's Premiere Hot Spot - 09 AUG 2024

While on a recent trip out to Ohio to visit family, for the first time since I started my YouTube channel, I visited Berea, Ohio. As a kid, I'd been there several times during the Conrail era. This spot, where NS's Chicago Line and CSX's Indianapolis Line converge, remains one of the busiest places in terms of daily train movements in all of the Buckeye State.
