HAMILTON, Ohio — The move is in progress today for the first of two structures that make up the Hamilton, Ohio, railroad station — a structure dating to the 1850s and with a history including visits from at least four U.S. presidents.

The station, donated to the city by CSX Transportation, is being located from its trackside location to a site about 1,100 feet away on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. Today’s move of the two-story station building will be followed in January by the move of a single-story structure [see “Hamilton, Ohio, station nears move,” Trains News Wire, Dec. 15, 2022]. Costs for the move are estimated at $1.9 million.

Future use for the relocated station has yet to be determined.
