Ever since I was a young kid I can remember passing this structure. While our car sped southbound on Interstate 75 you could see it sitting parallel to the railroad tracks. It had the architecture of a building you'd see sitting along your toy Lionel trains (didn't everyone have those?). However, it seems that Sir Topham Hat, Thomas, Percy, Gordon, Scheemer, and all of the other shiny time station friends (anyone get the Thomas the Tank Engine reference?) have been gone since the mid 70's according to the papers inside. You've probably seen it on your way to a Red's game, the aquarium, or for any other reason you'd go southbound on I-75, now see what its like up close.

This rail depot stands as a symbol and a memorial to an industry that once used to dominate the Queen City, replaced by ever evolving technology. As time moves forwards, remnants get left behind and it's people like me and FernaldSpecter, Tron2.0, and Seicer (and so many others) that like to document those remnants. Nothing makes for a better day off work than exploring Cincinnati.
