AC&Y acquired Northern Ohio Railway in 1920 and became one of the most profitable Class I railroads in the country successfully competing with larger Eastern carries like PRR and B&O. AC&Y remained an entirely independent railroad until 1964 when it was sold to the Norfolk & Western and remained a subsidiary until 1982. Ironically AC&Y never did connect with Canton and Youngstown.
