North-west rail
Linwood and Clare yards up the river side
Two rail yards lie north-west of Coldstream on the North American Rail Network kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics: Linwood at 6.4 miles and Clare at 6.9 miles. A tractor that shuttles freight to either yard may be parked near the tracks rather than at a house in the village, so give us the street address where it actually sits.
When you contact us about a yard tractor from the Linwood or Clare side, send the VIN, the plate and a few photos of the cab, the fifth wheel and the tires. With those in hand we can line up collection at the yard gate or at your own lot, whichever is easier to reach.
Tank trailers north-west
Tankers that load beside the Ohio River
Two liquid bulk terminals stand about 6.9 miles north-west of Coldstream, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Tank trucks and the tractors that pull tank trailers between those sites are part of what we buy here, and a tractor can come to us with or without its trailer.
Further out, the Energy Information Administration lists the Cincinnati North petroleum product terminal 11.4 miles north-west of town. If your truck has hauled fuel from that rack, keep any terminal loading records or hazmat paperwork with the title; they tell us where the truck has worked, and you can simply describe the route if you have none.
Aggregate hauling out of the Evans pit
Evans Gravel, a sand and gravel operation 6.8 miles north of Coldstream, appears in Mine Safety and Health Administration records. Tandem dumps, tri-axles and end-dump tractors that carry aggregate out of a pit like that one are trucks we collect, and they are often kept close to the pit between loads.
For a dump truck from the Evans Gravel side, photograph the body, the hoist and the cab, and note whether the truck carries a plow mount or a pup hitch. Tell us if it is parked at the operation itself so we can plan access to the site.
Docks and containers
River docks and the Gest Street ramp
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics lists the port of Cincinnati 11.1 miles north-west of the village. Flatbeds and day cabs that move barge cargo off the docks there are trucks a Coldstream owner can sell to us without driving them anywhere first.
The Bureau of Transportation Statistics also lists the Gest Street rail intermodal ramp 11.5 miles west of Coldstream. A container chassis tractor that works that ramp should come with its registration and any annual inspection report you hold, and we will schedule pickup where it is parked.
Red Bank Road and a missing Coldstream title
The Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles handles vehicle titles through County Clerk of Courts title offices, and for Coldstream that is the Hamilton County Clerk of Courts Title Office at 3370 Red Bank Road, Cincinnati, 45227, about 7.1 miles from town. If the title to your truck has gone missing, that office is where a duplicate is requested.
Have the title signed by every owner named on its face, and if a lender still appears as lienholder, bring the release letter too. With a clean title and a matching VIN on the truck, the hand-off on collection day is short.
Grain and cattle haulers around the village
Coldstream shares its county with 322 farms, and USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture names corn, soybeans and cattle as the top products across Hamilton County. Grain trucks, livestock haulers and the farm tractors that pull hopper trailers in this corner of Ohio are trucks we buy.
A farm truck that only comes out at harvest may sit in a barn or field for most of the year. Tell us which lane or gate to use, and whether a loaded trailer is still attached, so the collection crew arrives ready for the ground it will meet.
