From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Cincinnati, Lebanon and Northern Railway, now defunct, was an American railroad of southwestern Ohio built in the late Nineteenth Century that became part of the Pennsylvania Railroad system in the early Twentieth. Built to give Warren County better transportation facilities, the rural areas it operated in never provided much traffic for the road despite its linking two major cities: Cincinnati and Dayton. Always in perilous financial condition, the road went through multiple bankruptcies and scheduled service ended in the 1930s after which much of the route was abandoned and the rails lifted.
