Trolleyology: Cincinnati's Incomplete Subway

Join PTM staff, volunteers, members, and friends of the Museum for our Zoom series, Trolleyology! These programs feature Pennsylvania transit history topics and tales of our collection that you can experience from home. Registration is required but free of charge. Donations are welcome and encouraged.

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.

When: Tuesday, April 23, 2024 at 7 PM ET

A Zoom link will be sent to you in a confirmation email after registration. For those who have registered by 12 PM on the day of the program, a reminder email will also be sent with an easy-to-click link to join the Zoom.

If you do not receive a confirmation email with the Zoom link, please reach out to Kristen Fredriksen at kfred@patrolley.org.
