CG&P

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

The CG&P got as far east as Russellville, Ohio.  They built bridge abutments at Eagle Creek , which is south east of Russellville.  The line started out as a narrow gage, then went to standard to interchange with the Pennsy east of Cincinnati.  At one time there were 3 gauges together on the same line. Narrow, standard and wide gauge.  Wide was for the trolley cars that went into Coney Island Amusement Park.  There  is a great book on the CG&P if you can find it called Railroad With 3 gauges.  It is as thick as a phone book,564 pages and is very detailed on the CG&P and other small lines around Cincinnati.  The book is by David McNeil.  
First printing was 1986.
