Historical Context
The Columbus & Maysville was incorporated in Ohio on April 27, 1877 and was proposed between the cities of Columbus and Maysville via Washington Court House, Hillsboro, Sardinia, Georgetown, Ripley and Aberdeen. Construction began on the 19-mile Hillsboto-Sardinia segment in 1878 on a narrow gauge alignment, to conform with the Cincinnati & Eastern Railroad.
About 12 miles were completed from Sardinia north in 1878, and another 5.5 miles were laid in 1879 to the junction of the Marietta & Cincinnati, about 1.5 miles west of Hillsboro. The first official run was on May 8, 1879, and the line was leased to the C&E. Local parties in 1880 formed the Hillsboro Railroad Company and constructed the Hillsboro Short Line to bring the railroad further into town, and leased it to the M&C.
On May 25, 1880, the M&C resolved to convert the railroad to standard gauge and to extend the line to Aberdeen. No work was completed on either tasks, and the railroad was leased to the C&E.
The railroad was sold in 1885 to an eastern group. The new company reported that the railroad had been extended to Ripley, however, it in fact had not. It became insolvent and was sold on February 12, 1887 to the Ohio & Northwestern, which had been chartered one week prior.
