In view of the great interest taken at the present time in
the welfare of the Cincinnati Southern Railway, we take unusual
pleasure in giving our unreserved endorsement to the publishing
of a history of the building of the road and its operation.
The stirring events of the past twenty-five years attendant
on the carrying out of this project for a line to the South
make a history that reads like a romance.
The enthusiasm with which the city received the idea of
building the road, the intense opposition that afterward devel-
oped to oppose it, the courage and tenacity with which the trus-
tees and their friends pushed the road to completion, include
within themselves the history of one of the greatest movements
ever inaugurated by an American city for the protection and de-
velopment of its commercial interests.
The publication is in able hands. It will be handsomely
illustrated, authentic and comprehensive. Those portions of the
book touching on finance and the relations of the road to the
city will be compiled by Hon. H. P. Boyden, Ex-Auditor of the
city, and the engineering features of the work by Col. George B.
Nicholson, Chief Engineer of The C. N. 0, & T. P. Ry.
