    The Marietta and Cincinnati Rail Road was one of five important east-west railroads of southern Ohio; it was later absorbed by the Baltimore & Ohio (B&O) Railroad. Its original route ran from Marietta through Vincent, Athens, Hamden, Chillicothe, Greenfield, Blanchester, and Loveland, Ohio. It had two main branches: Blanchester to Hillsboro, which was originally part of the Hillsboro and Cincinnati Railroad; and Hamden to Portsmouth, Ohio, originally part of the Scioto and Hocking Valley Railroad.
    The
    Marietta and Cincinnati Rail Road
    was founded as the Belpre and Cincinnati Railroad (B&C) in 1845. The first through-train from Cincinnati, using the tracks of The Little Miami Railroad to reach Loveland, ran on April 9, 1857. The
    Marietta and Cincinnati Rail Road
    operated a ferry for the 14 miles downriver from Marietta to Parkersburg, so that travelers and freight could be transferred between it’s trains and the B&O system trains.
