A little over a year ago John Lomax, retired long-time Local 12, WKRC-TV anchor, served as emcee for the USPS First Day of Issue Dedication Ceremony for the Railroad Stations Stamps Series held here at Cincinnati Union Terminal on March 9, 2023.
A few Cincinnati Railroad Club board members represented the club at this event & were able to provide Mr. Lomax with a private tour of our new club library/headquarters space on the 3rd floor & then on up to Tower A. We spent a pleasant hour enjoying those amazing Tower A views, talking about his love for CUT, answering his questions about the history of Tower A and the club, and letting him take all the photos he wanted.
He was genuinely interested in the club, having heard about us over the years from club member Jeff Hirsch, a fellow Local12 WKRC journalist who had retired a few years earlier. He joked that he would be calling to let Jeff know he got to go up to Tower A that afternoon.
I only took a few photos that afternoon in Tower A — the view out the windows, an empty Tower A, and one of Mr. Lomax photographing the CUT train board.
Rest easy Mr. Lomax.
