in 1879, the McComb, Deshler & Toledo Railroad Company was incorporated. By November of the following year, the first train ran through McComb over its tracks which ran 9 miles. Grading began in early 1880 and on November 24, the first train arrived in McComb. The MD&T later extended to Findlay. In the 1980s, the line from Deshler to McComb was abandoned.

Currently access to the park is unavailable from Keyser Ave. The Mulberry St. grade crossing at the SW Wye is out. Back on September 24, 1999 an S501 derailed very near that exact grade crossing. I was there...

in 1911, Ronald Reagan, the 40th president of the United States was born. Toward the end of the 20th Century, the U.S. presidency took to the skies, and presidential travel by rail decreased.

Nevertheless, during President Reagan’s 1984 re-election campaign, he continued a tradition shared by Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, and Dwight D. Eisenhower by bringing the Ferdinand Magellan, the official presidential railcar, back into service for a series of whistle-stop speeches.

On October 12, 1984, approximately 100,000 people came to see President Reagan speak in Deshler, Ohio. This event would mark the last time that the Ferdinand Magellan was used in presidential service before going back into retirement at the Gold Coast Railroad Museum in Miami, Florida.
