[QUOTE]Originally posted by Railroad Bill: [QB] Since we did not have passenger service in Zanesville, Oh in the mid 50s, my first railroad passenger trip was delayed until the early 70s when our family rode from Parkersburg, WVa to Cincinnati on a Reds BB excursion. They were operated every summer in those days. Timing was great. On board in the morning, arrived in Cincy down by the river at noon. Game at 1 or 2? and then return trip left town around 6 and we arrived back in PB in the late evening. A festive train with baseball fans and train buffs. My brother was a Chessie engineer at that time and I believe we had some discounts? A fun ride. Of course there are no tracks left on the B&O mainline between Grafton, WVa and Cincy. But many great memories. I don't remember which Amtrak trains ran on that route? Cardinal? or one that no longer exists. [/QB][/QUOTE]
