Michael J. Samuel posted There is little to no evidence that the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton RR ran along today's Route 49 in Coles and Clark Counties in Illinois. |

Dennis DeBruler commented on Michael's post I also think of Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton as a railroad in southwestern Ohio that was absorbed by the B&O. The 2005 SPV Map labels this route as DOOR: Danville, Olney & Ohio River. It was originally a 3' gauge railroad. It must have been abandoned during the depression because it does not show up on the oldest topo map that I could find, 1936. The slant of the south end of Archer Street, https://maps.app.goo.gl/mdYdRa1nghkmx8sHA, and the tree line to the west of Archer are some traces of the railroad. 1939 Aerial Photo |
The town's grain elevator is rather big. Especially since it hasn't had rail service for almost a century.
