The Columbus, Newark & Zanesville Interurban System and Blackhand Gorge Tunnel

November 19, 2025 – 7 PM ET – Presented by Steve Bownas


REGISTER HERE

 

Come explore the electric interurban lines that formed the Columbus, Newark and Zanesville system in east central Ohio. We will follow them from the 1899 start of the pioneering Newark & Granville; through the boom of the Columbus, Buckeye Lake & Newark and the Columbus, Newark & Zanesville; into their 1907 lease to the Ohio Electric Railway; and finally to the 1921 spinoff after the OE dissolved. And of course we will examine the Midwest’s only interurban tunnel in scenic Blackhand Gorge!

 

This program will be recorded and available at a later date on the PTM YouTube channel.

 

Trolleyology presentations will continue on a regular or semi-regular basis. Interested in presenting? Email Kristen at kfred@patrolley.org! We’re specifically looking for programs related to the Trolley Era in general, Pennsylvania transit history, or stories about our collection. Please join our e-mail list to stay up-to-date with program announcements and other PTM news!

*For the best experience, we recommend downloading Zoom in advance.
