Trains and Locomotives on RFD TV - Steam Dream The Ohio Central Story

So where is it?

RFD channel, the railroad programs run on Monday afternoon, the toy train programs run on Thursday afternoon.

Unfortunately, the morons that run Verizon are dropping RFD Feb 1st. Time to switch companies.

RFD TV Trains and Locomotives is on at 6:00 pm Monday on DirecTV.

That guy made some serious paper being an anesthesiologist.  From seemingly very  humble beginnings.  As he said, you can only do so many gall bladders and such before it is time for a change.  Now he is running an apparently very successful freight operation with several lines with a good customer base, you could tell he was very involved in sales and operations, and also, pursuing his dreams and interest in steam at the same time.  Like he said, his goal is to get all ten steam locomotives in running order at one time.  He's got the roundhouse.  Built a coaling tower.  Cool story.  I wish him the best of luck.  He seems ok .

Not any longer. JJJ sold the whole Ohio Central RR to a larger railroad conglomerate, and he has been using the interest from the few hundred million dollars he received from the sale of "his railroad", to build and expand the Age of Steam roundhouse project.

I wonder if he secured trackage rights from the G&W when he sold it.

Not exactly "trackage rights", but yes, a deal was worked out.
