The rich history of the Niles & New Lisbon Railroad is woven into the towns and villages it served. Canfield, located at the center of Mahoning County, was an important station on the Niles & New Lisbon Railroad. This presentation, originally given to the Canfield Historical Society on May 12, 2022, tells the story of the Niles & New Lisbon Railroad from the perspective of that community. Additional N&NL research materials are available at that Society’s Canfield office.
