Pick Of The Litter: Greyhound's Once Finest Bus Line

Kenneth R Hixson

<p>"FORTY MILES, FORTY BRIDGES: THE STORY OF THE FRANKFORT &amp; CINCINNATI RAILROAD is an intimate telling of a fascinating facet of Kentucky history that has never been addressed in such detail. One of the fabled "Ghost Railways of Kentucky," the F&amp;C's roots were deep in the speculative development of Kentucky's railroad network. Ken Hixson's exhaustive research and folksy telling--with plenty of photos and maps--bring to life what could have otherwise been just one more corporate history of a company few care about. FORTY MILES, FORTY BRIDGES is a book anyone interested in railroad history, Kentucky history, corporate history, or unique family history will find enjoyable and informative." James Kemper Millard, Author, Chesapeake &amp; Ohio Railway Passenger Service: Second to None. KEN HIXSON is a native of Lexington, some 12 miles south of the F&amp;C's now-abandoned roadbed. His interest in Central Kentucky public transportation is varied. His father, a 42-year employee of Southeastern Greyhound Lines, was the motivation for his history of that organization, PICK OF THE LITTER: GREYHOUND'S ONCE FINEST BUS LINE. This story of the short-line F&amp;C is prompted by recollections from visits to his mother's family who managed the F&amp;C depot at Centreville, 8 miles from Paris. Those boyhood days spent around the depot kindled his interest in railroading, especially the freight trains delivering coal and fertilizer for the surrounding rural area. The author is a graduate, in History, from the University of Kentucky. He is a small business owner and resides in Lexington.</p>
