The greater Cincinnati area on the layout consists of eight separate
switching districts. These districts include the Ford transmission
plant on the east side of Cincinnati, the produce yards and sup-
porting infrastructure that existed down along the river front, the
Eggleston Avenue district adjacent to downtown Cincinnati on the
east side, and various industries on the near west side.
All of the switching districts are worked by separate local
crews during an operating session. In addition to the switch-
ing districts, transfer runs from the B&O, Conrail, L&N, N&W,
Southern and the Licking River Terminal Railroad come into
Cincinnati from staging the during operating session and then
return at the end of the session.
