Join Jonathan Higgins, the well-known host of Train Aficionado and The Scanner Guys, at the first-ever Cincinnati Railfan Summit. This year’s lineup features club member Chris Mayhew, who will present “Cincinnati Tracks Back in Time,” exploring the history of predecessor railroads that have shaped today’s active lines in the area. Then, in the mid-afternoon, drone specialist Joe Wessels will share insights in his presentation focused on drones.
