Collectible Stocks and Bonds from North American Railroads
by Terry Cox

Ohio

Part of Northwest Territory: July 13, 1787
Became state: March 1, 1803

Ohio was the target of the first trans-Appalachian railroad effort, so it has the longest railroad history west of the mountains. With excellent topography for road-building, excellent farm land, and large coal reserves, every county in the state has seen rail service at one time or another. Over 400 companies that operated or incorporated in Ohio are represented by certificates.

Standing sheaf of wheat and a similar-shaped group of 17 arrows. Cultivated fields in a river valley (Scioto River) beyond. Sun rises from behind Mount Logan in distance. A heavily imited design due to the large number of railroads that incorporated in the state.
