🎉 HAPPY 90th BIRTHDAY UNION TERMINAL!! 🎉

On March 31, 1933, a crowd and brass band filled the plaza in front of the recently completed Cincinnati Union Terminal for the dedication ceremonies to officially open the Art Deco "Masterpiece" that we cherish.

The half dome of Cincinnati Union Terminal, seen here on the first day of passenger service on March 19, 1933, was as iconic then as it is now. Union Terminal had been pressed into emergency service nearly two weeks prior to its grand opening due to floodwaters putting some of the stations it was replacing out of service.

The Cincinnati Railroad Club has called Union Terminal home since the club was founded in 1938. That's right, the club is 85 years old this year! We have spent the majority of those years meeting in various spaces within CUT and it still serves as our home today.

Once again, Happy Birthday CUT! We look forward to many more years!
