The people of Cincinnati are to be congratulated on the new Union Terminal station which gives promise of completion within the immediate future This great work is acknowledged by all who are acquainted with the plans to be one of the most important in promoting the welfare of the city that could be named and friends of Cincinnati are under lasting obligations to John Eben Bleekman whose name stands at the head of this sketch for his invaluable assistance in solving one of the most difficult problems the city has ever known Many attempts were made to provide a union depot but it was not until Mr Bleekman devoted his talents to the work that definite results were secured The new station will not only be a monument to his ability but it will be a model of its kind and in many respects will be one of the most perfect depot structures as yet attempted in this or in any other country of the world.

In 1898 he returned east to New York and soon afterwards began the development of railway properties acquiring small and unproductive roads and reorganizing them into profitable enterprises. In 1905 he consolidated seven small railways in Georgia which he incorporated under one system now known as the Georgia Florida Railway Company Since 1909 he has served as vice president of the Cincinnati Union Depot and Terminal Company in this city and has devoted his entire time to the depot project.
