For You Subway Fans That Want to Build Something Different | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

The larges subway never finished in the United States is in Cincinnati. Bridges, stations, and retaining walls along the surface stretches deteriorated to such an extent that a few items actually collapsed. The underground portion of the subway is still maintained in case they ever want to rebuilt it for use. Construction stopped in 1927. I built a "O" scale ghost town for my new layout. I think it would be interesting to build the subway as is or as it should be finished. That is if you want to build something really different. Don

I always thought it would be interesting to model a "lost" part if a city, even if freelanced, that the railroad could run through.

I'm sure it cost the taxpayers and not the city however I'm sure the politicians acted otherwise.

Red list or Green list- I'm definitely on the Red
