Ohio Valley Electric Railway

The Ohio Valley Electric Railway was a street railway and interurban system that ran between Huntington, West Virginia, and Ashland, Kentucky. The system was also connected by ferry to Ironton, Ohio.

History
The Ohio Valley Electric Railway was incorporated in West Virginia on August 28, 1899, and, backed by Senator Johnson N. Camden, bought out the Consolidated Light and Railway Company of Huntington, the Ashland and Catlettsburg Street Railway, and the Ironton and Petersburg Street Railway. By the fall of 1900, new track connected the West Virginia and Kentucky segments of the line, and the combined properties became known as the Camden Interstate Railway Company.

In 1908, the company changed its name back to the Ohio Valley Electric Railway. Street railway operations ceased in 1937.
