Product Description
by Barton Jennings (Author)
This route guide is written for those who want to know more about the historic Whitewater Valley Railroad. It helps to answer the questions of train passengers who ask, "Where are we and what once happened here?" The Indiana route used by the Whitewater Valley Railroad has a long transportation history. It started as the Whitewater River, then became the White Water Valley Canal. By 1865, railroads took over. Once operated by New York Central's "Big Four" - Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis Railway - today the line between Connersville and Metamora is operated by the Whitewater Valley Railroad, a tourist railroad providing service to the former canal town of Metamora. This book provides information on the railroad's history and equipment, as well as a mile-by-mile guide.
