In Case You Missed It! 🚂💨

If you weren't able to join us for our last Cincinnati Railroad Club meeting—or if you just want to relive a fantastic evening—the full video presentation is now available on our YouTube channel!

In this program, Justin Newhall (JN Railroad Media & Whitewater Valley Railroad volunteer) takes us on a deep dive into the fascinating history of Lima-Hamilton Diesels in Cincinnati.

From the origins of the Lima Locomotive Works and the famous Shay logging engines, to the post-WWII diesel transition and heavy industrial service at Armco Steel and Cincinnati Union Terminal, Justin covers it all—including where the surviving locomotives are today!
