The Marietta and Cincinnati Railroad (M&C) is a defunct railroad of southern Ohio that was later absorbed by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (B&O). The M&C was founded as the Belpré and Cincinnati Railroad (B&C) in 1845 to connect to the B&O between Parkersburg, West Virginia and Belpre, Ohio because the government of Virginia would only allow the B&O to build to the Ohio River at Wheeling, West Virginia. To continue to the east on the B&O, one had to take a steamboat down river to Parkersburg. The destination of the B&C was changed to Marietta, Ohio and the name of the railroad changed in 1851. The right of way extended from Marietta up river to Bellaire, Ohio for a connection to the B&O. The M&C reached Cincinnati, Ohio by 1857, at which time the company was bankrupt. The first through-train from Cincinnati ran on April 9, 1857. The railroad never went up-river from Marietta. The Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) later purchased the right of way south of Bellaire. With help from the B&O and the Baltimore City Council, the Union Railroad connected Marietta to Belpre in 1860. It also was later absorbed by the B&O.
