Trolleyology

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

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!
