The Ohio River and Western railroad was Ohio's longest operating narrow gauge railroad being incorporated in 1875 and operating until 1931. It operated between Bellaire and Zanesville serving the rural Southeastern communities between the two towns. The Friends of the Ohio River and Western aim at preserving the history of the road. They're holding their first annual meeting in Zanesville with discussions of the railroad, artifact display, project discussion, a presentation, and even a tour of a few significant spots from the railroad. See the flier attached for more information! Attached are a few pictures of the remaining equipment.
