SUMMARY:Cincinnati's Unfinished Subway - The Good\, The Bad\, and The Ugly | April 2026
DESCRIPTION:Jacob Mecklenborg traces the trajectory of Cincinnati’s ill-fated transit project by examining the evolution of the rapid transit subway plan during its pre-construction phase and the significant alterations made to those designs once construction was underway.

SUMMARY:Photographing the Long Island Rail Road | February 2026
DESCRIPTION:Long Island native Joe Stroppel shares his photography of the Long Island Rail Road\, the busiest commuter rail system in North America. Visit busy stations and interlockings at the outer reaches of New York City\, travel to scenic landscapes of the North and South Fork\, and explore the LIRR’s rapidly changing infrastructure – including its endangered PRR-style Position Light signals\, control towers\, and stretches of non-signaled dark territory. \nAbout the speaker\nJoe Stroppel was born in Glen Cove\, NY\, on the North Shore of Long Island. He lived only a few blocks from the Oyster Bay Branch\, which is where his fascination with the railroad began. On weekends\, his mother would take little Joe on train rides to Oyster Bay. At age 13\, he got his first camera\, and he’s been photographing the LIRR ever since. Joe was one of the youngest docents to attend the Center for Railroad Photography & Art (CRP&A)’s Conversations conference in 2016\, and he returned on another scholarship in 2025. His favorite aspects of the hobby include railroad photography\, the sounds of the railroad (especially train horns)\, and train travel. Outside of the railroad hobby\, Joe is a classically-trained singer and actor\, and he performs around the New York City area. \nAbout the meetings\nAll Cincinnati Railroad Club meetings are held in the Newsreel Theater at Union Terminal/Cincinnati Museum Center and are open to the public at no charge. We’ll begin the evening at 7:30 pm with brief club updates & announcements\, followed by our featured program presentation at 8:00 pm.

SUMMARY:Josh Cohen Presents: How I've Been Able to Photograph Two Small Railroads and Keep it Interesting
DESCRIPTION:My discussion will cover my last seven years of photographing the Youngstown Steel Heritage Museum and the Age of Steam Roundhouse Museum. I will demonstrate how I document these locations by using light\, weather\, and people to create diverse and compelling images that change over time\, even within the constraints of small spaces. \nAbout the Speaker\, Josh Cohen: \nI have loved trains since birth. My first Lionel train\, gifted to me by my dad’s best friend\, set me on a path toward railroad photography and preservation. \nI am most proud of my time as a fireman on the J&L Narrow Gauge Railroad. I enjoy the challenge of switching cars\, whether I’m working on my model railroad or operating full-size trains. My passion is photographing steam locomotives\, and the most rewarding part of this work is sharing it with friends. \nAbout the meetings\nAll Cincinnati Railroad Club meetings are held in the Newsreel Theater at Union Terminal/Cincinnati Museum Center and are open to the public at no charge.

SUMMARY:Daniel Hadley Presents: “Becoming A Professional Railfan
DESCRIPTION:Merging a person’s hobby and their profession is not always easy. \nA major railfan video producer was looking to expand\, and we found one another at an opportune time. The program explains how this came about and explores many of the videos I produced. The program was originally done for The Center for Railroad Photography and Art. One aspect requested was that I speak about the differences between shooting stills and video. Now that’s a real can of worms\, but I believe there’s an answer here. \nAbout our speaker \nAs far back as I can remember\, I’ve been interested in railroading. I owe that to my father who\, though not a railfan in the modern sense\, seemed to enjoy taking me down to the roundhouse\, station\, or switching tower. An early memory was being lifted into the cab of a steam locomotive and seeing the gates of hell open as the fireman shoveled coal. I was hooked! \nIn college\, I majored in Broadcast Communication Arts and worked at various TV jobs. In 1980\, I landed at WLS TV in Chicago where I worked directly for the ABC television network\, doing segments for Good Morning America\, Nightline\, and local news. In 1990\, that came to a screeching halt when ABC began layoffs. Being an avid railroad photographer and a professional videographer and editor\, I decided to try marrying these two aspects of my life and\, amazingly\, it worked.\n \nAll Cincinnati Railroad Club meetings are held in the Newsreel Theater at Union Terminal/Cincinnati Museum Center and are open to the public at no charge. We’ll begin the evening at 7:30 pm with brief club updates & announcements\, followed by our featured program presentation at 8:00 pm.

SUMMARY:Trevor Rost Presents Into the Light | June 2025
DESCRIPTION:About the presentation\nFor years\, I learned to put the light on my back to ensure the best possible shot. This still holds for many situations\, but through exploration and experimentation\, I found when to have success doing the exact opposite.\n \nAbout the presenter\nI have been a train lover my whole life. My first Christmas gift was a train table\, and a wooden toy of the Thomas & Friends character also named Trevor. This led me to watch the Thomas & Friends show and eventually gain an interest in real life railroading. I started taking photos of trains in 2017 when Denver was visited by the Cheyenne Frontier Days Train\, hauled by Union Pacific 844. Since then I have traveled across multiple states shooting trains\, with my main interest being steam engines. \nAll Cincinnati Railroad Club meetings are held in the Newsreel Theater at Union Terminal/Cincinnati Museum Center and are open to the public at no charge.

Come and listen to YouTuber NKYRailfan as he presents “Hot Spots Along Cincinnati’s Main Lines North of Town.” Be sure to save the date: Thursday\, October 3\, 2024\, at 7:30 PM\, in the Newsreel Theater at Cincinnati Union Terminal. \nIn this program\, we will explore some of NKY Railfan’s top picks for railfanning along the historic B & O line leading to Deshler and the Norfolk Southern New Castle District heading to Muncie. We’ll observe trains at various locations and discuss what makes these spots so special to him. \nAbout the presenter NKY Railfan:\nI’ve been a railfan since I was a kid.

However\, I didn’t really learn much about how the railroads operate until the past few years. That understanding has made my time along the tracks much more enjoyable. \nStream live on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/live/f6Dr2Cf_3ag?feature=shared \nDirections to Newsreel Theater at Union Terminal:\nEnter through Union Terminal’s main entrance into the rotunda\, turn left toward the Cincinnati History Museum\, and the Newsreel Theater doors will be on your left between the escalator and the History Museum.
