Description: The Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis and Chicago Railway served the states of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. Formed from a 1880 restructuring of the bankrupt Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Lafayette Railroad (IC&L), it operated from Cincinnati via Indianapolis to Lafayette. In 1889, the CISL&C merged with the Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and Indianapolis Railway and the Indianapolis & St. Louis Railway to form the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis Railway, also known collectively as the Big Four. The New York Central Railroad (NYC) leased the Big Four in 1930 and operated it as a part of the NYC system. Surviving trackage is now primarily owned by CSX Transportation and Norfolk Southern. For auction is an unissued "Stock Script Certificate" from the CISL&C from the 1880s. 1880s Cincinnati Indianapolis St Louis Chicago Railroad stock script certificate Click image to enlarge Description The Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis and Chicago Railway (CISL&C) served the states of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.
