When I was a kid, before the expressway, the fastest and cheapest way to Cincinnati from Madisonville, was to catch the B&O at the station down the road at Oakley, Ohio.
I loved being close to those massive rumbling engines and the sound of the steel wheels' click-clack on the rails, but nothing was like walking into that gigantic art deco dome and seeing all those hauntingly beautiful, building-size color murals by Winold Reiss.
