Very little has been written about that little north-south
railroad that shot straight south across the prairie flat lands of
Ohio's Erie and Huron Counties, snaked its way through the twisting
valleys of Richland and meandered among the rolling hills of Knox and
Licking Counties. A half dozen separate railroad starts, none of which
were profitable and doomed to failure, were blended into one final
effort, the Sandusky Mansfield & Newark Railroad Company. This book
by historian Robert A. Carter, The Sandusky Mansfield & Newark Railroad - Early History of The Lake Erie Division of the B&O
(Second Edition), is a brief study of the need, the obstacles, and the
never-ending challenges faced by those who built and those who ran the
first railroad in North Central Ohio. Included in this volume are 104
photos, maps, newspaper articles, tables, and other illustrations.
