So I learned a new trick this week. When using Google News you can use a special location tag followed by a semicolon to narrow your search. For instance, by searching “railroad location:oh” I can get all the railroad news stories from the Ohio area.
Now with that out of the way, here are some interesting railroad articles from around the web.
- A long legal battle to get a private overpass replaced on the Ohio Central may be closer to a conclusion. Lawyers from the state (who now owns the line and leases it to the OC) can find no documentation that removes responsibility. I can just imagine all the fun digging around in PRR archives looking for that.
- Plans are being discussed to build a biketrail along the Mill Creek Corridor in Cincinnati. While not exactly a rail trail it would most likely have good views of the action near Union Terminal.
- Lastly there is a great article on Canton Railroad history. One of the “Images of Rail
” series is publishing a volume on Canton.
In other news, I’ve put up some of my central Ohio photos up on the Ohio Valley Railroads Facebook Page.I’m also taking submissions now for an Ohio Railway calendar. If you have an event you would like to be on it let me know.
