Gorgeous vignette of a train crossing a railroad bridge over a river. Light blue ink, No. D-86, issued to Wm. Merritt Esq. for the year 1881. The City of Cincinnati is the only municipality in the country to own an interstate railroad. An Ohio law enabling the creation of the Cincinnati Southern Railway was enacted on May 4, 1869. Cincinnati voters adopted a resolution designating Chattanooga as the southern terminus one month later. Workmen spiked the last rail in place on December 10, 1879. The first freight train completed the route from Cincinnati to Chattanooga on February 21, 1880. The first passenger train followed on March 8. State:Ohio City:Cincinnati Date:1881 Provenance:
