One of the smaller interurban railways in the state of Ohio was the Youngstown and Ohio River Railroad, or Y&OR which began operation in 1906. Despite its name, this line never ran to Youngstown.
Summary
[edit]DescriptionYoungstown & Ohio River Railroad combine car 302.jpg |
English: It connected at Leetonia with the Youngstown & Southern Railway forming a traction link between Youngstown, Ohio and the Ohio River at East Liverpool. Passenger operations were conducted using a group of five interurban coaches and three combines ordered from the Niles Car and Manufacturing Company in 1907. Freight trains were initially hauled by steam locomotives but in 1913 the Y&OR ordered electric locomotives to replace them. These "steeplecabs" were responsible for hauling the significant number of coal trains which traversed the Y&OR. The decline of the Y&OR began in 1921 when the Youngstown and Southern Railway ceased purchasing its electric power from the Y&OR's West Point power station. During the ensuing years of the 1920s the coal mines which provided much of the Y&OR's freight traffic began to play out and increasing use of automobiles eroded the line's passenger ridership. The company entered receivership in 1930 and all service was abandoned on March 9, 1931. |
