Nothing in particular. When my father passed away a few years ago, I found a lantern with "CH&D" stamped in the top and "B&O" eched in the globe. This just sparked my interest as I never have seen any information or mention of the CH&D. I will try to contact the B&O Museum as you suggested. Thanks. Thom

Go to "Cincinnativiews.net". On the main page in yellow click on "transportaion". On that main page in yellow click on "railroads". About halfway down there will be a picture of C.H.&D. RR depot. At the bottom of the screen there is a line with depot trivia about the line as well. You may also be able to find your info. through here also. It is a good website about Cincinnati in general.

Information in terms of?, particular interest? Have the 1913 ICC breakdown of the CH&D family tree and there is a lot of older info out there regarding CH&D in its various incarnations. (Wi***he the same was true for the Big 4/ CCC&StL instead of the half-hearted mention in the NYC books that never seem to go west of the Alleghenies.

Have you talked to the archivists at the B&O Railway Museum?

I am looking for information on the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton (Ohio) Rail Road. The only information I have been able to fine is that it became part of the B & O in the early 1900's. Any information or source would be appreciated.
