Based on a review of various editions of the Annual Report of the Commissioner of Railroads and Telegraphs of Ohio, the 1873 corporation was a narrow gauge steam railroad, although an interurban line may have taken its name. The cited web page offers no references. The 1889 schedule for the Cincinnati, Georgetown and Portsmouth Railroad casts doubt that the steam railroad actually reached Batavia, as implied in that web page.

Much further research is needed; in the meantime, I recommend the cited web page rather than the Wikipedia article. Snile (talk) 14:54, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This railroad is a hybrid. I have attached a schedule stating "for Passenger Traffic by Electricity, for Freight by Steam." Sometime before 1934, it became the "Cincinnati, Georgetown Railroad" and was classified by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio as an interurban.^[1]Snile (talk) 17:32, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm really new here, but this article needs serious correction. CG&P started as a three foot steam road, and apparently ended up as a standard gauge interurban. But it's linked to "light rail"?? See the picture at http://clermont-county-history.org/historical-articles/batavia-railroad-cgp.html; it's likely small for interurban, but not what I'd call light rail.Snile (talk) 19:16, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I can't help how they spelled "Puerto Rico" in 1905. The book title should be as originally spelled.Snile (talk) 13:10, 22 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
