NOTES

Cincinnati bound trains would go to either the Southern Railways Gest Street Yard or the Louisville and Nashville Railroads DeCoursey Yard near Covington, Kentucky. Delta Turns did most of their interchange business with the Norfolk & Western Railway's former Wabash Railroad line that ran from Montpeilier, Ohio to Maumee, Ohio (located just outside of Toledo). Little was interchanged with Conrail at Delta, most of it was sent to Stanley Yard in Toledo on FC-13. Greggs, Ohio is located near Waverly, Ohio in Pike County. Actual interchange with the N&W was at Glen Jean and interchange with the C&O was at Greggs. Switching was done at Waverly Yard. (JEL)
