Trolleyology: Cincinnati's Incomplete Subway

Cincinnati's Incomplete Subway
Presented by Jacob Mecklenborg
April 23, 2024
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.
Jacob Mecklenborg is a Cincinnati native who created one of the city's first local history websites in the late 1990s. He is a graduate of Ohio University in Athens, OH and has worked as a photographer and writer for several newspapers and websites around the state. He wrote and published Cincinnati's Incomplete Subway - The Complete History in 2010.

This is so fantastic! I wish you would do several open lectures on this here in Cincinnati. Too much to take in all in one sitting.
