Many of you probably don't know that I am the former Vice Mayor and current Council Member of the City of Hamilton, Ohio. During my time on council, we have been working on moving a historic Train depot that had once had Abraham Lincoln, Roosevelt, and Truman stop there. Long story short, CSX wanted to demolish it because with the new Double Stacks and Car Carriers making the turn, they swayed too much and were hitting the roof of the building. The building was the home of the CH&D ( Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton ) railroad that went out of business in 1917. The council wanted to save the building, and thousands were petitioning to keep it. We allotted 2 Million dollars to make a move and do some restoration to it. Hamilton is one of the fastest-growing cities in Ohio and this building needed to be saved. We moved it 650 Feet north of its original location closer to our downtown. Here are some time-lapse videos of both buildings being moved.
