The HOTBOX has settled into something of a production schedule and hopefully the election will continue to move along smoothly. I hope that all of you remembered to vote. Voting is the most effective way to voice your opinion and probably the easiest way to take part in an organi­ zation. We should have election results in the next issue of the HOTBOX. I would like to congratulate the Southern Region on a job well done. Tom Barrett, Brian Brush, Brandon Fussell, Scott Gill and Bobby Mclaughlin put together a rather nice looking SOUTHERN CRESCENT. Besides being enjoyable to read, I especially liked the amount of cooperation that must have gone into the CRESCENT. I feel that you can get a lot more accomplished as a group, and it is probably more fun than working alone. The TAMR's Western Region has also come back to life. Region Representative Jonathan Kostenko has printed his first issue of the DAYLIGHT. While not quite as elaborate as the new CRESCENT, the DAYLIGHT is still a very welcomed addition to the list of active TAMR publications.

  • CHANGING TRAINS in COLUMBUS by John Anderson Carnahan
    CHANGING TRAINS IN COLUMBUS By John Anderson Carnahan In our constant quest to improve our lot, we Americans sometimes manage to cast out the baby with the bathwater. So has it been with the way we travel. Most of our passenger trains are gone, victims of our national haste to make haste. Today, for the sake of celerity, we routinely submit to being stuffed into oversized toothpaste tubes and hurtled through the atmosphere, knees-to-chest, munching on stale pretzels, trying in vain to spot something of interest out the window or in the bland décor of a Boeing 767. We have sacrificed civility to speed. I now and then feel this sacrifice with pangs of slight sadness and nostalgia because I am old enough to recall how it was to travel by train and because I am fortunate enough to have experienced, when I was young, the essential grace and leisure of that civilized form of locomotion. No doubt there are those of my vintage who would remind me that traveling by train was not always a fun trip. There were, to be sure, delays, missed connections, the surly ticket clerk eyeing you suspiciously from his brass cage, grumpy conductors, and occasional irate passengers. And, truth be told, steam engines, although marvelous creatures, did generate soot and steam and grime. Furthermore, even the great streamliners took valuable time to get from one point to another. In 1945, for example, a New York-bound Columbus traveler could depart the old Union Station on North High Street at 6:20 PM aboard the New York Central’s Ohio State Limited and arrive in Grand Central at 9 the following morning.

  • Introductions to Heritage Assets: Ships and Boats: 1840 to 1950
    Ships and Boats: 1840-1950 Introductions to Heritage Assets Summary Historic England’s Introductions to Heritage Assets (IHAs) are accessible, authoritative, illustrated summaries of what we know about specific types of archaeological site, building, landscape or marine asset. Typically they deal with subjects which lack such a summary. This can either be where the literature is dauntingly voluminous, or alternatively where little has been written. Most often it is the latter, and many IHAs bring understanding of site or building types which are neglected or little understood. Many of these are what might be thought of as ‘new heritage’, that is they date from after the Second World War. This overview looks at ships and boats built after 1840. Principally drawing on archaeological, technological and historical sources, it describes vessels used on English inland and coastal waters and in the open sea. The evidence of wrecks and abandoned vessels is drawn on, as well as extant vessels. Also included is the early development of submarines. This guidance note has been written by Mark Dunkley and edited by Paul Stamper.
