Chasing the Cincinnati Railway Company excursion with NKP 901
CRC 901 GP30 ( in NKP livery ) leads the deadhead south after a long day of excursions on the Indiana and Ohio Railway. Bringing up the rear is CRC 55 ( LM&M 55 in Lebanon Mason and Monroe livery), the oldest GP7 in continuous use in the United States. Mid train they have their newly acquired ex Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey car RBBX 41315. I followed them form Kibby St in Lima Ohio to Uniopolis, St Johns, Jackson Center and Quincy where they cross the CSX Indyline. With the rural Uniopolis shot I reversed the video to make it appear 55 was leading since I wasn't able to get it earlier in the day. The Cincinnati Railway Company also operates the Cincinnati Dinner Train and the Lebanon Mason & Monroe scenic train.

Chesapeake & Ohio George Washington Passenger Train [4K]
The George Washington was a named passenger train of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway running on a route between Cincinnati, Ohio and Washington, D.C.It began service in 1932 to mark the 200th anniversary of the birth of the first president of the United States. When the George Washington was inaugurated as C&O's top-notch train on April 30, 1932, it was one of only two all-air-conditioned, long-distance trains operating in America. (the other was the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad's Capitol Limited, which was instituted as an all-air-conditioned train only a week or so before the George Washington. New equipment was not built for this train; instead, older cars that were completely refurbished by Pullman and by C&O shops. It was still a few years before the streamliner craze, so C&O persisted with the standards of the time using its solid, heavy cars. The Pullman Company normally lettered its sleepers in a standardized fashion so that they could be interchanged and routed in any train in the United States with some uniformity, but there were some name trains to which specific cars were assigned on a regular basis, and C&O's George Washington was one of these. They differed from the standard Pullman sleepers in that they had the name of the train at the center of the letterboard where PULLMAN was usually placed, while the word PULLMAN was relocated to the end of the letterboard in small letters

Cincinnati Art Deco Union Railway Terminal
The union railway terminal was built between 1931 and 1933, architected mainly by Paul Cret.
Maxfield Keck used bas-relief carvings to represent Transportation and commerce on the north and south towers.
The Rotunda features the largest semi-dome in the western hemisphere, measuring 180 feet (55 m) wide and 106 feet (32 m) high.
German American artist Winold Reiss was commissioned to design and create two 22 foot (6.7 m) high by 110 foot (33.5 m) long color mosaic murals. Reiss created two timelines; one, of the history of the United States, from the Native Americans to the ‘modern’ citizen and one of Cincinnati, from settlement to the ‘modern’ period.
Reiss also created two small dedication murals. The first of these dedication murals shows the construction of Union Terminal itself in the background with foreground portraits of the four men responsible for the planning and early creation of Union Terminal. These are (shown left to right in the photo at right) Cincinnati Mayor (in 1929) Murray Seasongood; Cincinnati City Manager (in 1928) C. O. Sherrill; Union Terminal Company Chief Engineer H. M. Waite; and Union Terminal Company founder George Dent Crabbs.
The second of these dedication murals shows the completed Union Terminal in the background and concerns itself with three people central to the building's completion in 1933. These are (shown left to right in the photo at left) Cincinnati Mayor (in 1933) Russell Wilson, the first Union Terminal Company president H.A. Worcester and Cincinnati City Manager (in 1933) C.A Dykstra.
Pierre Bourdelle created commissioned artwork for the terminal, including a Jungle-themed mural for the Women's Lounge.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Cincinnati ( SIN-sih-NAT-ee) is a major city in the U.S. state of Ohio and is the government seat of Hamilton County. Settled in 1788, the city is located at the northern side of the confluence of the Licking and Ohio rivers. The city drives the Cincinnati–Middletown–Wilmington combined statistical area, which had a population of 2,172,191 in the 2010 census making it Ohio's largest metropolitan area. With a population of 301,301, Cincinnati is the third-largest city in Ohio and 65th in the United States. Its metropolitan area is the fastest growing economic power in the Midwestern United States based on increase of economic output and it is the 28th-biggest metropolitan statistical area in the U.S. Cincinnati is also within a half day's drive of sixty percent of the United States populace.In the nineteenth century, Cincinnati was an American boomtown in the heart of the country. Throughout much of the 19th century, it was listed among the top 10 U.S. cities by population, surpassed only by New Orleans and the older, established settlements of the United States eastern seaboard, as well as being the sixth-biggest city for a period spanning 1840 until 1860. As Cincinnati was the first city founded after the American Revolution, as well as the first major inland city in the country, it is regarded as the first purely American city.Cincinnati developed with fewer immigrants and less influence from Europe than east coast cities in the same period. However, it received a significant number of German immigrants, who founded many of the city's cultural institutions. By the end of the 19th century, with the shift from steamboats to railroads drawing off freight shipping, trade patterns had altered and Cincinnati's growth slowed considerably. The city was surpassed in population by other inland cities, particularly Chicago, which developed based on strong commodity exploitation, economics, and the railroads, and St. Louis, which for decades after the Civil War served as the gateway to westward migration.
Cincinnati is home to three major sports teams: the Cincinnati Reds of Major League Baseball; the Cincinnati Bengals of the National Football League; and FC Cincinnati, currently playing in the second division United Soccer League but moving to Major League Soccer (Division 1) in 2019. The city's largest institution of higher education, the University of Cincinnati, was founded in 1819 as a municipal college and is now ranked as one of the 50 largest in the United States. Cincinnati is home to historic architecture with many structures in the urban core having remained intact for 200 years. In the late 1800s, Cincinnati was commonly referred to as the Paris of America, due mainly to such ambitious architectural projects as the Music Hall, Cincinnatian Hotel, and Shillito Department Store. Cincinnati is the birthplace of William Howard Taft, the 27th President of the United States.

Dennison, Ohio

Dennison, Ohio
Dennison is a village in Tuscarawas County, Ohio, United States. The population was 2,655 at the 2010 census.
The confluence of coal and railroads drove the development of Dennison. It is conveniently located at the midpoint between Pittsburgh and Columbus -- from each. At the time, locomotives needed water every , so Dennison was a natural refilling location. The Dennison Coal Company had mines south of town.
In 1864, The Pittsburgh, Cincinnati & St. Louis Railway decided to locate the country's largest railroad shops and yards in Dennison. Dennison Land Company laid out the town of Dennison in 1865 and purchased land expressly for the town. The railyards spanned . Demand for passenger service led to construction of a station in 1873. Thousands moved to the area for jobs in the roundhouses, turntables and foundries. At its peak, 3,000 people worked in the railyards. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company eventually subsumed the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati & St. Louis Railway.
The village incorporated in 1873, and was named for governor William Dennison.
During World War I, the Red Cross operated a canteen from a boxcar. Canteen volunteers prepared coffee and sandwiches for troops traveling through by train.
In 1922, a strike marked the end of the golden era of Dennison. During World War II, the Dennison Canteen operated from March 19, 1942 to April 8, 1946. Initially in a gas station on Center and Fifth Street, it moved to the depot restaurant and was dubbed Dreamsville.
The last passenger train service stopped in 1968. The last freight train stop in Dennison was in 1982. Freight trains still roll through, but they no longer stop in Dennison.
In the 1980s, Dennison elected Greg DiDonato as a member of council (while he was still a high school student) and then elected him mayor. He went on to serve as Ohio State Representative, Ohio State Senator and minority lead...

Driving TOLEDO Downtown 4K
Toledo is a city in and the county seat of Lucas County, Ohio, United States. Toledo is in northwest Ohio, at the western end of Lake Erie bordering the state of Michigan. The city was founded in 1833 on the west bank of the Maumee River, and originally incorporated as part of Monroe County, Michigan Territory. It was re-founded in 1837, after conclusion of the Toledo War, when it was incorporated in Ohio. After the 1845 completion of the Miami and Erie Canal, Toledo grew quickly; it also benefited from its position on the railway line between New York City and Chicago. The first of many glass manufacturers arrived in the 1880s, eventually earning Toledo its nickname: The Glass City. It has since become a city with an art community, auto assembly businesses, education, healthcare, and local sports teams.
The population of Toledo as of the 2010 Census was 287,128 making it the 71st-largest city in the United States. It is the fourth-most-populous city in the U.S. state of Ohio, after Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati. The Toledo metropolitan area had a 2010 population of 608,145, and was the sixth-largest metropolitan area in the state of Ohio, behind Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, Dayton, and Akron.
The city straddles the Maumee River at its mouth at the southern end of Maumee Bay, the westernmost inlet of Lake Erie. The city is located north of what had been the Great Black Swamp, giving rise to another nickname, Frog Town. Toledo sits within the borders of a sandy oak savanna called the Oak Openings Region, an important ecological site that once comprised more than 300 square miles (780 km2). Summers are very warm and humid, with July averaging 73.5 °F (23.1 °C) and temperatures of 90 °F (32 °C) or more seen on 16.5 days.[25] Winters are cold and somewhat snowy, with a January mean temperature of 25.5 °F (−3.6 °C), and lows at or below 0 °F (−18 °C) on 6.2 nights.[25] The spring months tend to be the wettest time of year, although precipitation is common year-round. November and December can get very cloudy, but January and February usually clear up after the lake freezes. July is the sunniest month overall.[26] About 37 inches (94 cm) of snow falls per year, much less than the Snow Belt cities, because of the prevailing wind direction. Temperature extremes have ranged from −20 °F (−29 °C) on January 21, 1984, to 105 °F (41 °C) on July 14, 1936.
Before the industrial revolution, Toledo was important as a port city on the Great Lakes. With the advent of the automobile, the city became best known for industrial manufacturing. Both General Motors and Chrysler had factories in metropolitan Toledo, and automobile manufacturing has been important at least since Kirk started manufacturing automobiles,[42] which began operations early in the 20th century. The largest employer in Toledo was Jeep for much of the 20th century. Since the late 20th century, industrial restructuring reduced the number of these well-paying jobs.
The University of Toledo is influential in the city, contributing to the prominence of healthcare as the city's biggest employer. The metro area contains four Fortune 500 companies: Dana Holding Corporation, Owens Corning, The Andersons, and Owens Illinois. HCR Manor Care is a Fortune 1000 company headquartered in Toledo. One SeaGate is the location of Fifth-Third Bank's Northwest Ohio headquarters.

Netherlands Plaza Hotel Cincinnati - Built 1931
Vintage photos of the Netherlands Plaza Hotel Cincinnati (now the Hilton Netherlands Hotel).
Music: Al Bowlly with the Ray Noble Orchestra - It's All Forgotten Now 1933
Constructed by the Starrett Investing Company as part of the Carew Tower complex in 1930-1931, the Netherland Plaza portion opened on 1/28/31. When built this complex was the largest of its type in the United States. The Netherland Plaza is located at 5th and Race and begun with 800 rooms. Starrett opened the hotel as the St. Nicholas Plaza named after the old hotel that had stood on the corner of 4th and Race, but was sued by the Hotel Sinton claiming they had ownership of that name. The hotel actually opened without a name for the first month. Finally since Starrett had already bought and paid for all the silverware, china, linen, stationary, and other furnishings with the St. N. P. monogram on them, it was decided to call the establishment Starrett's Netherland Plaza. At this time the hotel contained seven restaurants and twenty-six private dining rooms. There was a wedding chapel next to one of the ballrooms.
Some of the notables that stayed here were: Presidents Truman and Eisenhower, Queen Juliana of the Netherlands (appropriate), Eleanor Roosevelt (she refused to leave until the hotel allowed her to pay her bill), Bing Crosby (his fans almost started a riot). Winston Churchill requested the plans for the yellow-tiled bathroom in his suite, he wanted to reproduce it in one of his homes.
The Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza hotel is a National Historic Landmark and charter member of Historic Hotels of America. This Cincinnati hotel features breathtaking French Art Deco that has been restored to its 1930's grandeur. With rare Brazilian rosewood paneling, indirect German silver-nickel light fixtures and soaring ceiling murals, our historic Cincinnati, OH hotel is one of the world's finest examples of French Art Deco. No trip or visit to Cincinnati is complete without a stay at this remarkable hotel in Cincinnati.
