“I think the hobby is coming back”: the model railway event attracts enthusiasts to Youngstown
It is a railroad tradition to get on a train occasionally to see how things go.
The train had two locomotives that pulled about 10 passenger cars.
“It is the last passenger train that CSX owns. They only use it when touring something. Pretty big deal if it comes through, ”said Steven Ludwick of Cincinnati.
The railroad enthusiasts had chased the train in Akron before they got to Youngstown. You’re going to Pittsburgh next to see it again.
