Frankfort & Cincinnati

Company History: F&C was a 40 mile shortline linking Frankfort with Georgetown and Paris, Kentucky. They never reached Cincinnati which is 70 miles to the north. The line was completed in 1890 under the Kentucky Midland name but received the F&C name in 1899. The line was kept in business by traffic from bourbon distillers. The Georgetown to Paris segment was abandoned in 1967 and was later trimmed back to Elsinore. A 1985 wreck damaged a trestle on the remaining line and that was that. The railroad closed that day and was scrapped 2 years later.
