The Green Line
By Terry W. Lehmann and Earl W. Clark, Jr.

CERA Bulletin 134

Locally referred to as the Green Line, the Cincinnati, Newport & Covington Railway's fleet of single and double truck cars provided fast and convenient transportation between Cincinnati and the smaller communities located across the Ohio River in northern Kentucky. As times changed, the company responded by initiating interstate trolley coach operations and even obtained exclusive rights to serve the Greater Cincinnati airport on its opening. The transition to all rubber-tired service and the change to public ownership are also examined to give the reader a comprehensive overview of how management worked to maintain profitability as automobile competition intensified. 240 pages
