Originally known as the Cleveland, Warren& Pittsburgh, the first charter was set aside until 1845, when interest in building a rail line from Cleveland to the Pennsylvania state line revived. Lack of funding delayed construction in Cleveland and forced the city council to ask for construction support at a public hearing in 1847. The following ... moreyear Cleveland voters approved a $100,000 stock subscription. By 1852 the track for the Ohio connection with Pittsburgh and Wheeling had been laid from Cleveland through Hudson and Ravenna to Wellsville on the Ohio River.

In 1856 a C&P train departing Cleveland became the first to burn coal in its locomotive engine; a more efficient fuel, coal quickly supplanted wood as the railroads' energy source. In 1871 the C&P was leased for 99 years to the Pennsylvania Railroad. It provided a valuable western connection for both the railroad and Cleveland; at its height in 1908, the line operated 256 miles and carried over 1.8 million passengers. Several other lines established rail connections in Cleveland that eventually became part of the Pennsylvania Railroad. In 1851 the C&P was granted the charter of the Cleveland. Mt. Vernon& Delaware in order to construct a line from Cleveland to Hudson, Cuyahoga Falls, and Akron to connect with a road located between Massillon and Wooster.
