Trinway, Ohio

This card, postmarked 1907, shows the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chicago & St.Louis Railroad station in Trinway, Ohio. The line was also known as "The Pan Handle Route" and was a subsidiary of the Pennsylvania Railroad, the builder of the station.

    Actually, I do not believe this line was ever called the Big Four. The Big Four was a New York Central nickname. These lines here are PRR.

    Right you are and I thank you for pointing that out! It was my typographical mistake and I made the correction. I checked several research sources and, from what I could find on Wikipedia...

    "The community was originally known as 'Dresden Junction', as it was the point where the Cincinnati and Muskingum Valley Railroad met the Stuebenville and Indiana Railroad (which later became part of the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railroad). It was also the site of the first railroad station for the nearby village of Dresden."
