Saturday, Fogeyisms visits the very remarkable Mad River & NKP RR Museum in Bellevue, OH where, in the above photo, lady friend Joetta Goodman enjoys the display of a telegrapher’s position from days long gone.
The Mad River and Lake Erie RR was the first chartered railroad in Ohio and ran between Sandusky and Dayton. Their first train arrived in Bellevue in 1838. The museum site also was once the home of Henry M. Flagler who, in partnership with John D. Rockefeller, formed the Standard Oil Co.
Flagler used his wealth to develop the state of Florida by building his East Coast Railroad from Jacksonville to Key West.
Please stop by for an interesting peek at this marvelous facility.
