  1. When I worked at GE (General Electric) in Schenectady, NY, there were abandoned small rail car systems within some of the factory buildings that I found fascinating.

  2. I've always said that if I had a time period to live in reincarnated it would be the early 20th century just before WWI. It was a period of time for scientific discovery, technological advances and hopes for the future. Man built wonderfully beautiful buildings. Living was done more for the advancement of mankind rather than the almighty dollar. Then the First World War ruined it all.

  3. Cincinnati was an important jumping off point in the American civil war. Close access to major manufacturers, railroad systems and the Ohio river made it a strategic place.

  4. The tracks were inside the manufacturing buildings inside the GE complex. Most of those buildings no longer exist, torn down during the Jack Welsh administration.

  5. @2:59 What am I looking at? Thought it was highways but 1891 was before automobiles and buses took over. Railroads are out because I don't see any rails. It can't be a canal system as there were no canal hubs for travel and it slopes down on the right. So, how would that work with water?? What then???

  6. Small tracks. Probably used to transport materials to and from different buildings.

  7. Not sure but the tracks were only about two feet wide, not a standard gauge railroad or anything. These were inside the building for carrying raw materials for the furnaces. GE used to forge some of it's own metals for manufacturing.

  8. Technology is great...when it works!

  9. Where's the rails? Where the tracks should be are reflective like water.
