The historical elements of the park were the brainchild of Colonel Edward Deeds. The major sections include settlement, transportation, invention, and industry. The park also contains the Carillon Park Railroad, a 1 [2][3] 7 ⁄2 in (190.5 mm) gauge miniature railway. In 2005, Carillon Historical Park merged with the Montgomery County Historical Society to form Dayton History.[4] Contents 1 Kettering Family Education Center 2 Wright Brothers Aviation Center 3 Settlement exhibits 4 Transportation exhibits 5 Invention and industry 6 Deeds Carillon Deeds Carillon at dusk 7 References 8 External links Kettering Family Education Center The Kettering Family Education Center anchors the park and features changing exhibits in the National City Exhibit Gallery, a video about the park, and gift and snack shops.

The transportation center vehicles include a Barney and Smith passenger car, built in Dayton, a Conestoga wagon, a 1908 Stoddard-Dayton automobile, a 1915 Xenia cyclecar, an interurban railcar and other vehicles associated with Dayton. Among the latter, added to the collection in 1988, is a 1949-built Marmon- Herrington trolley bus, which was number 515 in the fleet of the City Transit Company[5] and provided service on the Dayton trolley bus system from 1949 until about 1982. It arrived at the museum in August 1988 and replaced a similar Marmon-Herrington trolley bus, ex-Dayton 501, that had been on display there since April 1988[6] but was then donated to the Cincinnati Transit Historical Association under an agreement in which Carillon Park received No. 515 from the Miami Valley Regional Transit Authority in exchange.[7] Invention and industry Deeds Barn - features such inventions as a Liberty aircraft engine, early Frigidaire refrigerator, 1912 Cadillac with the Delco automobile electric system. Print Shop - working 1930s print shop Deeds Carillon The park is named for the 151-foot-tall (46 m) Deeds Carillon. The art moderne-style carillon tower was built in 1942, funded by Edward Deeds' wife Edith Walton Deeds and was designed to commemorate the Deeds family. When the tower was built, each of 23 bells was inscribed with the name of a family member, with the “silent” bells bearing the names of deceased family members and ringing bells cast with the names of family members then living. Today, with 57 bells, the carillon is Ohio’s largest. The National Park Service listed the Deeds Carillon on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. Carillon Park refurbished the carillon in 1988, converting it from an electric keyboard controlled instrument to a traditional, baton-keyboard mechanical carillon. The Park's carillonneur, Larry Weinstein performs live carillon concerts every Sunday at 3:00 from May to October. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carillon_Historical_Park Pagina 2 van 3 Carillon Historical Park - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 30-09-14 22:48 References 1. ^ "National Register Information System" (http://nrhp.focus.nps.gov/natreg/docs/All_Data.html).

  • Dayton, Ohio Invests in High Tech Trolleybuses with In-Motion Charging
    Published by the Electric Traction Committee, Edmonton Trolley Coalition Edited by Retired Employees of the Edmonton Transit Service VOL. 36 Adopting Tomorrow’s Technology Today: Dayton, Ohio invests in High Tech Trolleybuses with In-Motion Charging After lengthy testing, the Greater Dayton Regional Transit Authority (GDRTA) is buying 26 NexGen Electric Trolleys and will put the first production model in service by 2019. The RTA Board authorized spending up to $57.4 million for the 26 vehicles and parts, plus 15 more NexGen Trolleys that will be bought once federal funding is in place, Executive Director Mark Donaghy told reporters. It is the largest bus contract in RTA history. The NexGen Electric Trolleybus bus costs 63 percent more than a standard diesel transit bus, but has a 20-year, 800,000 mile life compared to the diesel’s 12-year, 500,000 mile life, Donaghy said. Electric trolleys are cheaper to operate, better for the environment and quieter than a diesel bus, he explained. “Using electric instead of diesel buses is a step towards a clean air environment for Dayton,” said Peggy Ann Berry, an occupational safety and health professional and Climate Reality Project leader in Dayton. “Diesel buses release dirty fossil fuel emissions into the environment. These emissions exacerbate asthma attacks as well as add to the cardiac burden of older adults.” RTA is now finalizing the cost of the NexGen after making several modifications to the prototype. The US Federal Transit Administration (FTA) is picking up 80 percent of the cost, and the rest comes from the local sales tax and rider fares.

Clark, retired supervisor of transit planning In this Issue: Where do we go from here? . .. p. 1 Our Editorial: Do the savings add up? . p. 1 Local News . .. p. 2 North American News . .. p. 3 Where do we go from here? At the March 16th Meeting of Council’s Transportation and Public Works Committee, city administrators put forward a proposal to hold public hearings on the future of the trolley system on April 8th, along with a recommendation that the city discontinue all trolley service permanently this summer. After hearing concerns from the Edmonton Transit System Advisory Board, the Edmonton Federation of Community Leagues, the Edmonton Trolley Coalition and an Inglewood resident, Council’s committee decided to defer the hearings until late June. One of the main concerns presented was the apparent haste to rush into an irreversible decision on an important issue; other concerns surrounded the controversial consultants report which administration had used to support its recommendation. In the interim, administration has been directed to consult with citizens. Consultation is now planned to take place at two public meetings, by telephone, as well as though on-board surveys of transit riders. It is hoped the consultation process will be objective in its method as well as in any information provided to citizens. Objectivity and balance were two problems identified in the consultants study.
