Queens of the Seven Hills: Cincinnati’s Inclined Railways with John Stewart

Join us for a fascinating look at Cincinnati’s historic inclined railways with presenter John Stewart. More than just a quirky part of the city’s past, these inclines were essential pathways that powered the growth of our urban landscape.

On Thursday, October 2, 2025, at 7:30 PM, we’ll start with a brief member meeting, followed by the presentation at 8:00 PM. John Stewart will take you on a journey through the “ups and downs” of the inclines, sharing incredible stories, including a rare film of them in action, a bizarre “whale of a tale,” and the unbelievable story of a man saved by manure.

This event offers a unique glimpse into a bygone era of Cincinnati history. Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind presentation!

About the presenter:
John Stewart’s interest in trains began when his dad took him to watch Chessie engines flitter about the New Miami ARMCO Coke plant at night. Stewart has developed an enjoyment of pre-1920s railroad history.
