Reddit reviews Cincinnati's Incomplete Subway: The Complete History

Only wrong size in the sense that they don't accommodate low floor model trains and have station platforms built several feet off the ground. Cincinnati's subway was built to accommodate trains similar to those found on Boston's Green Line. They could always be adapted for light rail trains similar to our streetcar vehicles, but it would be at great expense and require ADA accommodation.

EDIT: Meant Red Line, not Green Line. There's more in this book about how Cincinnati's was modeled after Boston: http://www.amazon.com/Cincinnatis-Incomplete-Subway-Complete-History/dp/1596298952

> the tunnels are fit to a unique train car gage

This is false. Check out this book, which debunks this myth, as well as others (like "the turns are too tight" and "the city ran out of money").

Amazon link for those who are interested.

My brother just finished a book on the abandoned subway of Cincinnati. He had to sneak down there to get shots for the cover and insert. Check it out, we're finishing up a promo video today that will have more of the photos that didn't make it into the book.

EDIT

Here's the video we just finished about an hour ago.

My friend (Cincy native) just wrote a book about it. It's really comprehensive. If you're into this sort of thing pick up a copy, he could use the support!
