A Bing map of the current (2012) state of the Marble Cliff Quarry and American Aggregates properties.   Both companies had their own railroads.  Quarry operations generally started in the south and moved north as quarry sites played out. Quarries were developed on both sides of the Scioto River.  As quarries were played out and water was no longer pumped out of the depressions left by the removal of linestone, they would collect water creating lakes.

There is some evidence that at one time there was an electrified railroad at the MCQ. Both
bridges are abandoned, but still in place.
10 MCQ railroad tunnel under Trabue Road. It is now sealed and the entrances are overgrown with
scrubs and trees.

the C&O.
