Over the past 170 years, such sights and sounds have become common features of Olmsted life since that inaugural trip of a train on the first section of the Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati Railroad. Accounts differ over exactly when in 1850 that first train chugged its way through West View, but there is no dispute that railroads affected Olmsted’s development and daily life ever since then. Some reports say the first train ran on This right-of-way in southern Olmsted Monday, July 1, with a load of dignitaries, but Falls is where the first set of railroad other reports say that first train actually ran as tracks in Olmsted Township went into early as Thursday, May 16, 1850. Walter use in 1850. Holzworth, in his 1966 book on Olmsted history, wrote that “a small but jubilant crowd” witnessed the first train to pass through any portion of Olmsted Township on July 1, 1850. He wrote further: A brass trimmed wood burning locomotive with no cowcatcher or head lights, pulling a box like car piled high with fire wood, a small tank car as water tender, and three small open passenger cars with curtains rolled up and its seats filled with dignitaries, started from Cleveland and sped along at the amazing speed of fifteen to twenty miles per hour.

  • Roots of the Pennsylvania Railroad in Columbus, Ohio
    Roots of the Pennsylvania Railroad in Columbus, Ohio By Rowlee Steiner* 1952 THE COLUMBUS & XENIA RAILROAD (1850) One of the companies chartered to build and operate a railroad was the Columbus & Xenia, which built a line about fifty-five miles long between the two cities mentioned in the company name. At Xenia connections were made with another railroad to Cincinnati. The Xenia road was constructed thru London and West Jefferson, entering the west side of Columbus in the area north of and parallel to Broad Street, crossing the Scioto River thru a covered bridge in front of the Ohio Penitentiary, and extending to its depot at High Street north of Naghten Street where two other lines, then under construction, were to have their passenger depots. The company was chartered on March 12, 1844, but construction was not started until 1848. Construction was completed and the first passenger train was operated over the line on February 20, 1850. This was the first railroad train to enter Columbus. The centennial of this event passed without any ceremonious public notice two years ago. The Ohio State Journal of March 1, 1850, stated - "Both houses of the Ohio Legislature have voted to accept the invitation of the Columbus & Xenia Railroad to take a free ride over the line, and will leave tomorrow. The lawmakers will go as far as Xenia on the new road and then go on to Cincinnati over the Little Miami tracks. It will be a novel sight to see the government of the great State of Ohio going off at the rate of 25-miles per hour".

  • A Tale of Three Cities the Union Stations of Cleveland, Columbus
    A Tale of Three Cities The Union Stations of Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati Jeffrey T. Darbee Introduction I was fortunate enough to attend college near Chicago in the late 1960s and became a railfan as I learned more and more about the vast tapestry of trains, junctions, stations, and operations of the nation’s Railroad Capital. Riding the fast-dwindling fleet of privately operated passenger trains became my passion, and in doing so I spent a lot of time in railroad stations, depots, and terminals. Large or small, elegant or spare, these were the primary point of contact between the railroad companies and the public. In smaller towns, “Down at the depot” was where an endless stream of passengers, baggage, mail, express, and telegrams arrived and departed, the focal point of much of the community’s economic life. The depots played an important symbolic role as well. Often executed in distinctive architectural styles, they were intended to reflect well on the railroad company and to provide services and amenities in a setting that would impress, awe, or inspire patrons. Many times in smaller communities, the railroad station was the most distinctive and ornamental building in town. The same was true in larger communities, and particularly so in the case of union stations, those shared by two or more railroad companies. Employing established architects working in cutting-edge styles, railroad and union depot companies built memorable stations in all sizes and designs. As a railfan in the 1960s, I was as fascinated by the stations as I was by the trains that served them.

  • Columbus and the Railroads of Central Ohio Before The
    COLUMBUS AND THE RAILROADS OF CENTRAL OHIO BEFORE THE CIVIL WAR DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University WAITER RDMSET MARVIN, B.A. The Ohio State University 1953 Approved Adviser PREFACE What began as a routine dissertation has ended by becoming some­ thing a great deal more — a labor of enthusiasm. There are several names for people who fall in love with railroads and railroad history — one of them is "railfan," another is "ferroequinologist." I doubt if by this time I can escape from wearing one of those labels, although I trust I have succeeded in avoiding the all-too-easy descent to the Avemus of "ferroequinolatry," One consequence of such enthusiasm is that a student teixis to ask almost as many questions as he answers. That has certainly been the case in the present study in which a number of topics that invite further research have been pointed out, in the selfish hope that other seekers after the truth may be recruited. li. ^ ?der to present a well-rounded view of early railroading in Ohio an effort has been made to include as many aspects of the subject as aossible. Inevitable space and time limitations have consequently forbidden a repetition of the same aspects for all the four major roads. Generally speaking, the story of each individual road has tried to stress different elements of the whole picture, with a minimum of over­ lapping, As a result no one railroad is described completely and there is very little comparative data.

  • 21 Appendix A
    APPENDIX A 21 June 1, 2005 Jyl Lapachin Division of Emergency and Remedial Response Ohio Environmental Protection Agency – SWDO 401 East Fifth Street Dayton,Ohio 45402 RE: Peters Cartridge site, Kings Mills, Warren County Ms. Lapachin: On Thursday April 21, 2005, ODH HAS staff, Bob Frey, Greg Stein, and Peter Ferron, visited the Peters Cartridge site, a former ammunition plant, along the Little Miami River (LMR), just east of Kings Mills, in Warren County, Ohio. The facility was recently proposed for the Superfund status in April, 2003. HAS is in the process of completing a Public Health Assessment (PHA) for ASTDR and U.S. EPA. During our walkover of the site the following was noted; 1. In some sections of the plant, buildings have been maintained and several small businesses are operating from these buildings. However, other portions of the facility have been vandalized and are in a dilapidated condition. 2. The plant is not effectively fenced and other than “No Trespassing” signs, it is readily accessible to people using the adjacent Little Miami Bikeway. 3. Observations by HAS staff led to identification of several physical hazards at the site, including: • Potential exposure to falling glass from broken windows and loose bricks, • broken doorways allowing access into buildings, • hanging sheet metal coverings over the lower windows almost detached from the building, • miscellaneous debris from the plant operations in the more dilapidated areas of the complex, and • an open “well” of unknown depth adjacent to an out building between the Bikeway and the Little Miami River (LMR). (see attached map for location) A nearby parking lot, the Bikeway, and the lack of fencing provide easy access to the buildings and the open “well” at Peter’s Cartridge.
