***Note: This video was taken from the southwest quadrant of the Dolton Junction diamonds. This location is NO LONGER RECOMMENDED for safe and legal railfanning. Instead, safe and legal access is available just east of this location in the Municipal Building parking lot, or from the baseball fields in the northwest quadrant of the diamond. For those who are a bit more adventurous, shots can be taken from “Mt. Dolton”, a large, steep, man-made hill just southwest of the diamonds.

Railfanning the American Freedom Train, led by Reading T-1 4-8-4 #2101 (AFT#1), on the Penn Central from Middletown, Ohio to Sharonville, Ohio in June 1975.
In early June 1975, the American Freedom Train heads south on the Penn Central (NYC) between Middletown, Ohio and Sharonville, Ohio in preparation for display in Cincinnati near Riverfront Stadium.
The train is led by #1, ex reading T-1 class 4-8-4 #2101.
The train pulls a display train filled with artifacts of American history, as well as crew cars, supplies, and portable concession carts.
In the final still photo, taken during the display in Cincinnati, I am the one on the left - age 5.
This footage, captured by my father, was originally recorded on Super 8 movie film. In the mid-1980s it was transferred to VHS tape. This version was digitized from the VHS version.
