From steam engines to modern locomotives, Cincinnati’s railroad has shaped the region’s economy for over a century. But what happens next?
Join historian Charles Bogart for the next NKY History Hour on Tuesday, February 25, at 6:30 p.m., as he explores the fascinating evolution of the Cincinnati, New Orleans & Texas Pacific (CNO&TP) Railroad — from its 19th-century beginnings to its present-day operation under Norfolk Southern. Using historical and contemporary photographs, Bogart will take guests on a visual journey along the rail line from Ludlow to Lexington, showcasing what once was and what remains today.
NKY History Hour is a free virtual event hosted by Behringer-Crawford Museum. Register and receive a Zoom link to the event online.
The event will also be streamed live on BCM’s Facebook page. Recordings of all past episodes can be viewed at www.bcmuseum.org.
