Historical Context
In 1879, the 112 mile Toledo, Delphos & Burlington Railroad was formed from the consolidation of the Toledo, Delphos & Indianapolis; Delphos & Kokomo; Delphos, Bluffton & Frankfort and Toledo & Maumee Narrow Gauge railroads.
On the May 17, 1880, the company entered into a contract with the Dayton, Covington & Toledo Railroad Company for the consolidation of the two. The new organization was also known as the Toledo. Delphos & Burlington Railroad Company, being formed June 21, 1880, a little over a month after the contract was made for consolidation. The new company completed the projected line from Dayton to Delphos, and after the consolidation with the Dayton & Southeastern Company, the Toledo & Grand Rapids road was purchased (extending from Toledo via Waterville to Grand Rapids, in Wood County). On April 15, 1881, a certificate was filed for the construction of a branch line from Dayton to Lebanon, Warren County, to form connection with the Cincinnati Northern Railway. On May 19, 1881, a certificate was filed for the construction of a branch from Wellston to Ironton, the northern terminus of the Ironton & Huntington Railway. The lines, which were originally the Dayton & Southeastern, the Dayton, Cleveland and Toledo, and the Dayton, Lebanon & Cleveland, were owned and managed by the recently organized Toledo, Cincinnati & St. Louis Company, with principal offices at Toledo.
The line was known as the “Clover Leaf” route.
