Built in 1931, the Norfolk & Western Railroad Station was located at Seventeenth (17th) and Findlay Streets. It was used for passenger trains until 1971 when they were discontinued but still housed the division offices. The building was demolished in 2004, and the Scioto County Jail is now in a structure made to look similar to the old station.

Tinted image of the Greenwood steamboat on the river. The Greenwood was built by Captain Greene at Parkersburg, WV and completed in Ironton. In October, 1898, on her maiden trip she left Portsmouth and sank at the mouth of the Scioto River when she hit a snag. She was raised and repaired and ran the Cincinnati-Pomeroy-Charleston trades until she sank in 1925 after colliding with the Chris Greene.
