Beeghly Center
Beeghly Center

The Beeghly Physical Education Center, or simply Beeghly Center, is a 6,300-seat multi-purpose arena in Youngstown, Ohio. The arena, built at a cost of $5.5 million and named for local businessman Leon A. Beeghly, opened on December 2, 1972. It is home to the Youngstown State University Penguins basketball, volleyball, and swimming teams. The first event at the arena was a basketball game against the Ohio University Bobcats, which ended in a 68-59 Youngstown State victory. The arena, which originally seated 6,000, has undergone many changes since its opening. The Youngstown State women's basketball team moved into the arena in the mid-1970s. In 1983, permanent seats at both ends of the court and 1,260 chairback seats at mid-court were added. On September 15, 1996, YSU dedicated Veterans' Plaza directly in front of Beeghly Center. This $500,000 community project was funded in-part through private donations to honor all United States Veterans. In 2000, the court was repainted, two additional scoreboards were added and expanded press-row seating was created. In May 2002, the facility underwent more than $2.5 million in additional renovations, including a new front and rear lobby, new hallways and locker rooms and a new $150,000 sound system. The multipurpose facility includes an Olympic-sized swimming and diving facility, racquetball and squash courts, classrooms, and administrative offices. Beeghly is also home to the men's and women's basketball offices as well as the Olympic sports offices. In addition to YSU intercollegiate basketball and volleyball contests, as well as university events, Beeghly Center has served as the site for high school competitions, World Wrestling Entertainment matches (though the WWE now uses the newer Covelli Centre nearby when visiting Youngstown), concerts, tradeshows, and numerous other functions that dot the busy facility schedule throughout the year. The venue also hosted a Barack Obama rally in February 2008. The Beeghly Center holds many YSU classes throughout each semester, as well as the Youngstown City School District's "All-City" Science Fair competition. The facility is used for graduation ceremonies at the end of every semester. The facility should not be confused with the nearby—and newer—Beeghly Hall, where YSU's Beeghly College of Education is housed, and also holds YSU classes.

Youngstown station (New York Central Railroad)
Youngstown station (New York Central Railroad)

Youngstown station was a New York Central and Pittsburgh and Lake Erie Railroad (P&LE) railway station in Youngstown, Ohio. It opened for rail service on November 11, 1926. In addition to the passenger and freight operations, the station contained the offices for the Franklin Division of the New York Central. The station was dedicated on November 10, 1926, by G.H. Ingalls, Vice President of Traffic for the railroad, who presented the station to the mayor of Youngstown, Charles F. Scheible. Other speakers at the dedication included J.A. Campbell, President of Youngstown Sheet and Tube, John Tod, Director of the Mahoning Coal Railroad, and several community members. The station was designed by Fellheimer and Wagner of New York City at a cost of $1,500,000. The station was approximately one mile north of the next major junction at Center Street, where five Class 1 railroads crossed one another at grade: Erie, P&LE, Pennsylvania, Baltimore and Ohio, and New York Central. This was one of the busiest non-interlocked railroad crossings in the U.S. The crossing was under the control of a switchtender employed by the B&O, who directed all movements with colored flags by day and lanterns by night. It was a statutory stop, so no train moved until the switchtender beckoned him on. This included 16 daily passenger trains operated by the PRR, P&LE, NYC, and B&O. This congestion led to challenges for passenger trains accessing the New York Central station. Throughout much of its history, the station shared New York Central and P&LE passenger responsibilities with the Erie Terminal, located approximately 1.5 miles further up on the Erie (and then Erie Lackawanna) Main Line. For example, in 1956, the New York Central station saw four daily P&LE trains while the Erie station saw ten. Both the eastbound and westbound Empire Express and the Pittsburgh-Buffalo Express stopped at the New York Central station. The station was party to several prominent arrivals, including the 1952 Democratic Party nominee for President, Adlai Stevenson, who came through the station on a campaign stop in Youngstown. It was demolished in the 1970s.
