      • Cincinnati Street Railway (CSR) was the public transit operator in Cincinnati, Ohio, from 1859 to 1952. The company ceased streetcar operations and was renamed Cincinnati Transit Company.
      The company was founded in 1859 and was one of several operators. The Cincinnati Consolidated Railway merged with CSR in 1880:

      Passenger Railroad of Cincinnati 1859–1873 – merged with CCR
      Route Nine Street Railroad 1859–1873 – merged with CCR
      Pendleton Street Railroad 1860–1873 – merged with East and West Street Railroad Company and finally with CCR in 1873
      Cincinnati, Walnut Hills, Avondale and Pleasant Ridge Street Railway 1874–1880 – merged with CSR
      Storrs and Sedamsvill Street Railroad 1878–1880
      Cincinnati and Clifton Incline Plane Railroad 1876–1880
      Rees McDuffie 1884–1885
      Cumminsville Street Passenger Railroad ?-1889
      Walnut Hills and Cincinnati Street Railway 1872–1880
      Mount Adams and Eden Park Incline Railway 1876–1881
      Mount Auburn Cable Railway 1887–1896
      Mount Auburn Street Railway 1864–1873
      Cincinnati and Columbia Street Railway 1866–1896
      Some of the city's streetcars, namely A9-10 PCC were sold to the Toronto Transit Commission upon abandonment.
      The company began subway construction from 1920 to 1925, but the route was abandoned due to lack of money.

      Some former CSR vehicles have been preserved in museums. One example is car 2227, built in 1919 by the Cincinnati Car Company, at the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum. That museum acquired car 2227 from the Lake Shore Electric Railway (another museum) in 2009 and restored it, unveiling the restored car in 2013.
