A little over a year ago John Lomax, retired long-time Local 12, WKRC-TV<\/span> 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. <\/span><\/p>\n

A few Cincinnati Railroad Club<\/span> 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. <\/span><\/p>\n

He was genuinely interested in the club, having heard about us over the years from club member Jeff Hirsch, a fellow Local12 WKRC<\/span> 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. <\/span><\/p>\n

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. <\/span><\/p>\n

Rest easy Mr. Lomax.
