Awesome to learn about Granville T. Woods. I didn't know about him.

One of the Haydenville round houses along the Hocking was still there and occupied in the early '70's. By the late '70's, it was gone.

I was expecting to see something about the Pennsylvania/Penn Central/Conrail Railroad that worked out of Columbus for most of the last century. My dad worked for them as an engineer for 45 years. Retiring around 1981

It's a shame that we don't have 'Ohio History' classes as we would know about Mr. Woods and his contributions.

Sad, within 4 years of this production that the Buckeye Yards 'in' Hillard would be removed.
