| Title | Snap Shot On C. A. & C. Railway |
| Description | The Cleveland, Akron & Columbus Railway was orignally known as the Cleveland, Akron & Zanesville Railroad because when it was finished on July 4, 1852, the rail did not yet reach Columbus. On July 5th, opening day of the railway, free rides were given back and forth to Hudson. Over 2,000 people took advantage of the chance to ride the train. The engine, a woodburner that pulled the train at the amazing speed of 25 mph, was named the Vulcan. Later that summer, more tracks were laid and the rail connected to the Ohio & Pennsylvania Railroad, connecting Akron to Columbus and Cincinnati. After several name changes, the line finally became known, in 1880, as the Cleveland, Akron & Columbus Railway. (Art Work of Akron, Ohio. pt. 5 pg. 6) |
