Is anyone modeling the Cincinnati Northern Railroad. This was a NYC branchline that ran from Cincinnati to Jackson, Michigan along the western side of Ohio. I am particularly interested in the northwestern Ohio section from Van Wert to Bryan. Thanks for any information that anyone may have.
There is a long thread on it on the railroad net forum.Go to www.railroad.net enter the forum called Fallen Flags and its in the New York Central section ,maybe on page three.

I have no connection with The Little Falls Railroad & Doll Museum, but present this book for your consideration as the Cincinnati Northern was a Big Four controlled company. Direct Link: http://www.raildoll.com/
Thanks for the quick response. I am happy to learn that a new book on the Cincinnati Northern is available. It appears to be exactly what I have been looking for.
