Ohio Valley Electric Railway
Ohio Valley Electric Railway was a street railway and interurban line that connected Huntington, West Virginia, with Ashland, Kentucky, and had a ferry link to Ironton, Ohio. It was incorporated in West Virginia on August 28, 1899. Backed by Senator Johnson N. Camden, it bought the Consolidated Light and Railway Company of Huntington, the Ashland and Catlettsburg Street Railway, and the Ironton and Petersburg Street Railway. By fall 1900, new tracks connected the West Virginia and Kentucky sections, and the merged properties were known as the Camden Interstate Railway Company. In 1908 the line was renamed back to the Ohio Valley Electric Railway. Streetcar service ended in 1937. The system used overhead electric lines.
