Trolleyology: Cincinnati’s Incomplete Subway

Cincinnati, OH is infamously known as the home of the longest abandoned subway tunnel in the United States. Local historian Jacob Mecklenborg, author of Cincinnati's Incomplete Subway - The Complete History, will present on the project's genesis, construction, and abandonment, as well as 1930s-era proposals to convert the unused rapid transit line for use by the Cincinnati Street Railway. The presentation will include new photos and other information collected since the book's publication in 2010.

Trolleyology: Pittsburgh Streetcars: April 1971

In the spring of 1971, the Pittsburgh streetcar system was a mere shadow of its former glory, and it was about to shrink even more. For a high school student visiting the city for the first time, however, what remained was intoxicating, with plenty of activity. This show follows a teenage Dave around the South Hills as he rode and photographed the tired-looking, but incredibly fascinating remaining routes. Featured subjects include the single-track, rush-hour only operation between Castle Shannon and Mt. Lebanon, which is now part of the PRT Red Line, and the hilltop lines in Beltzhoover, Allentown and Knoxville, which had just over half-a-year left to run.
