Thanks for the quick response. I am happy to learn that a new book on the Cincinnati Northern is available. It appears to be exactly what I have been looking for.

Is anyone modeling the Cincinnati Northern Railroad. This was a NYC branchline that ran from Cincinnati to Jackson, Michigan along the western side of Ohio. I am particularly interested in the northwestern Ohio section from Van Wert to Bryan. Thanks for any information that anyone may have.
