Bring a distinctive railroad story to your desk with this Toledo, Cincinnati and St. Louis Railroad metal business card holder. Formed from an ambitious narrow-gauge network spanning Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, the line linked major cities by express train in 1883 before financial trouble led to receivership and division. Its brief, eventful history makes this a fitting desk accessory for railroad collectors and transportation enthusiasts. Keep cards close at hand while honoring a fascinating name from 19th-century railroading.
The Toledo, Cincinnati and St. Louis Railroad (TC&StL) was a three-foot narrow-gauge line serving Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. Its predecessor, the Toledo, Delphos and Burlington Railroad (TD&B), formed on May 23, 1879, through a merger of several railroads. In 1881, the TD&B joined with the Iron Railroad, whose line it had arranged to dual-gauge, and the combined enterprise retained the TD&B name. The TD&B had shifted its planned western terminus from Burlington, Iowa, to East St. Louis, Illinois; a TC&StL subsidiary was formed in February 1881 to build the extension from Kokomo, Indiana. The TD&B and TC&StL merged on February 23, 1882, under the TC&StL name. By March 1, 1883, the extension was operational, and express trains linked Toledo, Cincinnati and East St. Louis that summer across a system of about 780 miles. Financial trouble brought receivership later in 1883. Foreclosure divided the railroad in 1884 and 1885, with successor lines including the Toledo, St. Louis and Kansas City Railroad, Dayton and Toledo Railroad, Dayton and Ironton Railroad, and Cincinnati, Lebanon and Northern Railway.
