1860s-1870s Little Miami Railroad Co. Stock Certificate

Vintage Little Miami Railroad Company Stock Certificate

Founded in 1836, the Little Miami Railroad never came close to the famous city in South Florida. An Ohio-based rail line, it actually got its name from the Little Miami River that paralleled the railroad’s proposed route from Cincinnati to Springfield. In fact, the company’s first meeting was held at the Miami House Hotel on May 13, 1936 in Waynesville, Ohio. The second incorporated railroad in Ohio, the railroad is defunct today, and most of the rail line has been converted into a popular recreational trail.
