HAMILTON, Ohio — The second part of the railroad station in Hamilton, Ohio, made its move today (Tuesday, Jan. 17), with the one-story portion of the structure making the 1,100-foot trip down Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard to join the two-story building moved in December [see “News photos: Hamilton, Ohio, station on the move,” Trains News Wire, Dec. 20, 2022]. The relocated structure will be restored to “white box” condition — ready for modification for use as a restaurant or some other business, although its exact use has not yet been determined. CSX Transportation donated the structure, which dates to the 1850s, to the city, but required its move off railroad property. It is now on a city-owned lot.
