RAILROAD INFORMATION
The first railroad to enter Marietta ( Harmar) was the old Marietta & Cincinnati Railroad in 1857, but since 1868 the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern. The next railroad built to Marietta was the Cleveland and Marietta Railroad which ran its first train out of Marietta (to Whipple) on April 1st, 1871. This road passed into the hands of the Pennsylvania Rail- road Company January Ist, 1900, and is now known as the Pennsylvania Railroad-Marietta Division. In 1884 came the Toledo and Ohio Central Road, now the Marietta, Columbus and Cleveland Railroad, and last . the Zanesville & Ohio Railroad in 1888. This load was afterwards called the Ohio & Little Kan- awha, and in 1902 was absorbed by the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestein and made a part of the New- ark division.
Marietta's handsome Union Depot was
built in 1891-2 by The United Terminal Railway Co., T. D. Dale being the promoter of the enterprise. It was at this time that the low swamp lands through But- ler street from Front to Third street were filled in, in places from ten to fifteen feet. In 1896 the Bal- timore & Ohio Southwestem purchased the Union Station and now leases privileges to the other rail- roads. (For directory of railroad officials see Gaz- etteer.)
