Did you know Cincinnati has an abandoned subway system? It's true, although most people don't realize it exists. Cincinnati's Abandoned Subway presents the history and creation of the subway, why it failed, and how the unfinished rapid transit loop impacts the present-day metropolis. This film explores the project's conception in 1916, details of the construction during the 1920s, and its ultimate demise prior to The Great Depression.
