This is a summary of the railroads operating in Ohio’s 88 counties, and a comparison to those same counties during 1985 and 1930.
I decided to try and keep neighboring Counties together, so I have the covered the northern third of the State first, from west to east, followed by the central part of the State and then southern part. This alphabetical index has the numerical order I used. Adams is the 73th County on my list.
