The Toledo, Cincinnati and St. Louis Railroad (TC&StL) was a narrow gauge railroad based in Ohio. It began as a subsidiary of the narrow gauge Toledo, Delphos and Burlington Railroad (TD&B), which was opened on July 4, 1875, but in 1882 the two companies merged and retained the TC&StL name, which was more descriptive of its extent. Toledo, Delphos and Burlington Railroad itself originally came about from a merger of several other railroads, including the Iron Railroad founded on February 2, 1848, based in Ironton, Ohio.〔(D T & I Railroad in Lawrence County plus information about the C H & D Railroad )〕 In 1881, the TD&B reached an agreement with the Iron Railroad to dual gauge a segment of its line by laying its own narrow gauge track in-between the Iron Railroad's track. Both railroads merged later that same year, retaining the TD&B name.〔(History of the Detroit, Toledo and Ironton Railroad )〕 The financially troubled Toledo, Cincinnati and St. Louis Railroad system eventually entered receivership in 1883 and was split at foreclosure in 1884 and 1885 as follows: *Cincinnati Division, built by the TD&B: Dayton, Lebanon and Cincinnati Railroad *Cincinnati Northern Division, ex-Cincinnati Northern Railway: Cincinnati, Lebanon and Northern Railway *Dayton Division, completed by the TD&B: Dayton and Toledo Railroad *Iron Division, ex-Iron Railroad: Iron Railway (converted to in 1887) *St. Louis and Toledo Divisions (split at Kokomo), completed by the TC&StL: Toledo, St. Louis and Kansas City Railroad *Southeastern Division, ex-Dayton and South Eastern Railroad: Dayton and Ironton Railroad ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Toledo, Cincinnati and St. Louis Railroad」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
