Note: In the images above and below, you're
seeing the
Traction Building, and immediately north of it is The old
Kenton
County Court House. The Court House / City Hall
is long gone, but the Traction Building Still stands, immediately
across from the current Kenton County Court House in Covington.
My pages with the Court House/ City Hall are here.
| This "Plea for Parks in Covington is a before and after drawing of 2nd thru 4th streets coming off the Suspension Bridge. From a pamphlet published by Frank F. Woodall in August, 1902. |

Since Greenup Street lines up with Cincinnati's Walnut Street, and Covington's Scott Street lines up perfectly with Cincinnati's Vine Street, how is it that the Suspension Bridge doesn't line up with either??? Find out here. |

| The CNC (Cincinnati, Newport & Covington Railway), better known as the Green Line, ran it's last streetcar on July 1, 1950. The event inspired a parade of the private Streetcar Kentucky, followed by a CNC streetcar, followed by modern, General Motors busses. The image on the left is the beginning of the event, and the image on the right is the return across the bridge. |
You can learn a LOT more about
the CNC, the Green Line, and other old Northern Kentucky
transit routes in the Spring, 1999 issue of Motor
Coach Age. They've got dozens of older area
photo's, maps and rosters. I recommend it to you.
It's available on line here.
