Originally known as the Cleveland and Mahoning Railroad (C&M), it was chartered in 1848. Construction of the line began in 1853 and was completed in 1857. After an 1872 merger with two small railroads, the corporate name was changed to "Cleveland and Mahoning Valley Railroad".

Interchange (freight Rail)
In freight rail transport, interchange is the practice of railroads conveying freight cars ("foreign" cars) from other companies over their lines. This benefits shippers, whose cargo might otherwise have to be transhipped if the point of origin and destination are not both served by the same company. In passenger rail transport the term through car or through coach is used to denote a passenger car which is conveyed from one train to another, even within the same system. Interchange is sometimes equivalent to the practice of demurrage. See also * Dividing train * Portion working A dividing train is a passenger train that separates into two trains partway along its route, so as to serve two destinations. Inversely, two trains from different origins may be coupled together mid-route to reach a common endpoint. Trains on c ... References * * {{rail-stub Rail freight transport ...
