Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton Railway (1926–1930)

The Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton Railway (CH&DR) was an electric interurban railway that existed between 1926 and 1930 in the U.S. state of Ohio. It was absorbed in 1930 into the new Cincinnati and Lake Erie interurban railway. In typical interurban fashion, it had its own right of way in open country, although this was often adjacent or parallel to a road. In cities and towns it operated on city streets. This included two and three car freight/express trains as well as passenger cars.

Not to be confused with the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton steam railroad of the same name which eventually was absorbed by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
