Toledo, St. Louis and Western Railroad

The Toledo, St. Louis and Western Railroad, known as the Clover Leaf, was organized in 1900 as a reorganization of the Toledo, St. Louis and Kansas City Railroad, operating about 451 miles of track connecting Toledo to East St. Louis across northwestern Ohio, north central Indiana and south central Illinois. It was absorbed into the New York, Chicago and St. Louis Railroad, known as the Nickel Plate, on December 28, 1922, and that line eventually became part of Norfolk Southern.
