I found myself in the Columbus area this week, so I visited the Ohio Railway Museum to check them out. Unfortunately, they were closed when I visited. They are open on Sundays, Noon to 4 pm, May through December.

***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.
