I didn't expect to see a NS train on CSX tracks. You can see the bay window for the agent's desk hidden in the shadows.

The budget is $2m. The move will cost about $1m, and there is significant concern if the rehab can be done for $1m. CSX wanted the building gone by May 31, 2022. [journal-news]

Robert P. Federle posted three photos with the comment:

Both sections of the CH&D / B&O (CSX) Hamilton Ohio Depot now moved to the new location.

It should be noted the new location is also the spot where one of the B&O Freighthouses was located.

Robert P. Federle: In the view where both are preset, cinder blocks can be seen under the two story building. The orifginal bricks were salvaged and will be placed where they came from and the cinder blocks will be hidden. Those cinder blocks are cement filled and have to sit for 30 days to cure then the buildings will be lowered and the beams removed.

Michael Boyle posted three photos with the comment: "This is the former Baltimore and Ohio depot and freight station in Hamilton, Ohio. It was deteriorating and CSX threatened to destroy it. Some citizens wanted it preserved. So in 2023 it was moved 100 yards north of original place and now is being remodeled for business use."

Jim Kelling shared with the comment: "Hamilton Ohio (CH&D/B&O station, now moved)."
