Freight move on the Byesville Scenic Railway

On March 14, 2007 the first freight train in 10 years traveled over the route of the BSRW.  Basic Systems Inc. in Derwent received its first rail car since 1997.  Because there is no passing siding in Byesville, our excursion train was temporarily moved to Derwent to allow the gondola car to be spotted next to BSI for loading...

Our excursion train temporarily spotted at Derwent.  It was moved back to our

station in Byesville after the gondola shipped out on the following Monday.

passing siding was built here in 2007 to allow our excursion train to clear the

main track for future freight movements over our line.
