Hi Everyone,

I was wondering if anyone has information or photos of the Frankfort & Cincinnati RR, which was a shortline in Kentucky which operated until sometime in the 1980s. I believe this company was controlled by the Pinsly family at the time of its abandonment. If anyone has history, photos or lore of the F&C, please notify me via email. Thank you....

-Mike

We have footage of the F&C that we'll use in a future video. Scenes include the F&C's "Ky Cardinal" motor car, their second motor car M55-1, and several excursions with steam & diesel locos, all pre-Pinsley.

Great section on this railroad in Sulzer's book "Ghost Railroads in Kentucky" . Recently, reprinted and was available from University of Indiana Press.
