Marietta and Cincinnati Railroad
The Marietta and Cincinnati Railroad (M&C) is a defunct railroad of southern Ohio that was later absorbed by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (B&O). The M&C was founded as The Belpre and Cincinnati Railroad (B&C) in 1845 to connect to the B&O between Parkersburg, West Virginia and Belpre, Ohio because the government of Virginia would only allow the B&O to build to the Ohio River at Wheeling, West Virginia.
