Hop on board! I’ve got some thrilling news for you all. Introducing the Buckeye-Bluegrass Express 2024 Tour! Instead of riding the rails, we’ll be gathering trackside at some of the hottest spots in Ohio, Kentucky, and beyond. Last year, I had the pleasure of hosting a few railfan gatherings and meeting some incredible folks. 

This year, I’ve gone all out and planned a jam-packed schedule of stops, complete with a catchy tour name. I can’t wait to connect with more railfans and discover new locations in the area. Speaking of which, there’s no shortage of fantastic railfanning opportunities around Cincinnati. From Ludlow to Glendale and Hamilton, just to name a few. And don’t worry, we’ve got stops outside of Cincinnati too, including Marion,  Fostoria, Ohio, and more locations coming soon!

What do you need to bring along? 
Some places might not have benches, so it’s a good idea to bring a camp chair. As we get closer to summer, make sure to pack refreshing drinks, snacks, and sunblock. And don’t leave behind your camera and scanner if you have them.

Scanner Programming Clinic for Railfans | Cincinnati, Ohio
Come join me on National Train Day, Saturday, May 11, 2024 from 3 PM to 5 PM, for an exclusive Scanner Programming workshop designed specifically for Railfans in Cincinnati. Whether you own the Uniden Bearcat BC125AT or the recently released BCD160DN or BCD260DN, this workshop is tailor-made for you. You’ll be able to learn the fundamentals of programming your scanner manually using the keypad. And if you’re tech-savvy, you can also learn how to program your scanner using BuTel’s software. Don’t miss out on this amazing chance to get up close and personal with Uniden’s latest radios – the Bearcat BCD160 and BCD260DN will be showcased for all to see!
I’m thrilled to announce that the class will take place at the Cincinnati Railroad Club’s space within the iconic Cincinnati Union Terminal. With its large windows facing north, you’ll have a fantastic view of both Norfolk Southern and CSX rail yards. This is an amazing chance for you to indulge in some railfanning too! | Sign up now for this class
