	Cincinnati and Lake Erie Railroad
		The Cincinnati and Lake Erie Railroad (C&LE) was a short-lived electric interurban railroad that operated between Cincinnati, Ohio, Columbus, Ohio, and Toledo, Ohio.
		Most of the route between Cincinnati and Toledo followed the old towpath of the Miami and Erie Canal with the line to Columbus branching off from Dayton, Ohio.
		The C&LE was formed in 1930 from the merger of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton Railway, the Indiana, Columbus and Eastern, and the Lima-Toledo Railroad.

	The Railroad Builders by John Moody,1919
		A few years later the Harlem Railroad was leased to the property at a high valuation and a large dividend was guaranteed on the stock, the ownership of which was retained by the Vanderbilt family.
		The development of railroad properties under the Vanderbilt influence was not confined to the territory east of Chicago and the Mississippi Valley.
		Federal railroad regulation, which started in a moderate way with the passage of the Interstate Commerce Act in 1887, had steadily increased through the years; the Sherman Anti-trust Act, passed in 1890, had been interpreted broadly as affecting the railroads of the country as well as the industrial and other combinations.

		ERIE, or PRESQUE ISLE--95 miles from Cleveland, 348 miles from Cincinnati, and 507 miles from New York, via the N. and Erie Railroad.
		ERIE lies beautifully, on a bluff on the south side of the bay and peninsula.
		The LAKE SHORE ROAD, upon which we have traveled, passes in the rear of Erie; so that in fact we get but a distant view of the town, which, as we go east, may be seen on the rising bluff to the left.

	Underground Railroad
		The Underground Railroad in Ohio was an amazingly efficient and well organized operation, despite the impossibility of open communication and coordination.
		In Cincinnati, Levi Coffin became known as the "President of the Underground Railroad." In Ripley, the home of John Percial Parker, an African American abolitionist and industrialist, was one of the earliest and busiest stations.
		Although many of the landmarks of the Underground Railroad in Ohio are gone or their significance forgotten, time and progress can't erase the example set by this incredible bond of community, however brief, among those in desperate need and those who assisted them.

		William Redfield proposed a direct route from the mouth of the Hudson to the Great Lakes, but it was Eleazar Lord who was instrumental in the chartering of the New York and Erie Railroad by the New York state legislature in April 1832.
		Much of the railroad was built on low trestlework rather than directly on the ground; the resulting construction and maintenance costs drove the railroad into bankruptcy soon after it opened.
		The Erie leased the Nypano (as it was known) in 1883, acquired all its capital stock in 1896, and acquired its properties in 1941.

		The stretch of railroad between Indianapolis and Union City, Indiana (now part of the CSX System) is the oldest part of what was once the Big Four railroad system.
		As envisioned by the early builders of the Bellefontaine, this railroad was to become a link in the chain of roads that would connect St. Louis, Indianapolis, Sandusky and Cleveland, Ohio with the east.
		There are many photographs of the museum and railroad cars taken throughout the years, along with some drawings made, possibly, for exhibits at the museum.

	Erie Railroad (#1007)
		The Erie Railroad was chartered in April 1832 from the banks of the Hudson River to the shores of Lake Erie as the New York and Erie Railroad, with the restriction that it could not enter any other state or connect with railroads from other states.

	The Railroad Builders by John Moody,1919
		To this end, the Pennsylvania Railroad was incorporated on April 13, 1846, with a franchise permitting the construction of a railroad across the State from Harrisburg to Pittsburgh.
		A great railroad bridge was planned to cross from Long Island to the mainland, connecting with the New York, New Haven and Hartford system, in the stock of which the Pennsylvania at this time purchased an interest.
		The "community of interest" plan held sway with the large railroads of the country and was very effective for perhaps half a dozen years, until the interstate commerce laws were amended in such a way as to give the Government complete control over railroad freight and passenger rates.

	The Railroad Builders by John Moody,1919
		That this railroad, which after nearly twenty years of struggle and of financial vicissitudes had finally linked the Great Lakes with the Atlantic coast, was looked upon as a property of wonderful character and limitless future is indicated in all the railroad literature of that time.
		The Erie Railroad system was foreshadowed in the time of Queen Anne, when the Colony of New York appropriated the sum of five hundred dollars to John Smith and other persons for the purpose of constructing a public road connecting the port of New York with the West in the vicinity of the Great Lakes.
		After the opening of the Erie Canal in 1825, the Legislature of New York directed a survey of a state road which was to be constructed at public expense through the southern tier of counties from the Hudson River to Lake Erie.

	Part I
		Some of the more significant bodies of records that are useful to railroad researchers are the various series of railroad company annual reports and records relating to railroad accident investigations, and the finance dockets which contain information concerning the organization, functions, and operations of the railroad companies.
		In these letters, the writers (many of whom were railroad employees or former employees) expressed their feelings about the operation and financial plight of the nation's railroads and offered suggestions and plans to help rescue the railroads from their difficulties.
		The forms detail the acquisition of each parcel of land the railroad is using for common-carrier purposes that is part of the right-of-way covered by the valuation map as well as some parcels not being used for that purpose.

	Cincinnati And Toledo Railroad
		The Cincinnati and Toledo Railway had its beginnings in 1852 when the Columbus and Peking Railroad was chartered with the ultimate goal of building a broad gauge cog railroad to connect Ohio with the Far East.
		This railroad generated a phenomenal amount of revenue shuttling goods between the port cities along Lake Erie and the Ohio River.
		The Cincinnati and Toledo was able to detour around the accident for the three years it took to fill in the hole, but the Union Pacific was not so lucky.

	Roosevelt University - History of Chicago - Module 1 Chapter 3
		Once the full impact of the influence of the Erie Canal and of the growing Eastern market for western goods was felt, Chicago began to compete with her river rivals for the produce of the Upper Midwest.
		The exploitation of the hinterland was the crucial problem facing Chicago and Chicagoans began to look at the steam railroad as a tool to help the city overtake her river rivals, which had such a tremendous advantage in the race to exploit the agricultural produce of the upper Midwest.
		Chicago's location on the Great Lakes system and the willingness of Chicagoans to take a chance on new modes of transportation such as canals, turnpikes, plank roads, and finally the railroad insured her position in the upper Midwest and her dominance over a great trading area.

	Collector's Corner-Collecting Railroad Timetables
		A number of major railroads, particularly those in the East issued multiple forms of public timetables to present their wide variety of passenger and suburban services to the traveling public.
		Of these railroads, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad is unique in that the railroad produced all its public and employee timetables in house, while most of the others farmed this work out to Allan, Lane, and Scott of Philadelphia, which was long known for its timetable association with the Pennsylvania Railroad.
		The BandO, like the other railroads to be covered here, is gone now, but has left behind a paper trail of timetables and related items and what a paper trail it is! Next we will take a look at the Erie Railroad and its timetable forms.
