I saw a pic on railpictures.net that showed two trains meeting at Renick Jct. in Chillicothe.

Where exactly was this location and how much of the old B&O is still there? I know it still exists west from the N&W interchange.

Renick Junction is located east of Chillicothe, Ohio on the former B&O Parkersburg Subdivision. Both tracks that are shown in this picture are still there, however only used by a local train the signals are long gone as well.

Indeed, the tracks are still in place but the main line is severed east of Chillicothe all of the way to Clarksburg, WV save for a short stretch around Parkersburg, WV.
