The A C & Y Railroad is gone  now.  It  once  was a busy line from Delphos to Akron, Canton and Youngstown.

Most of the Krieft Farm is gone too … except for approximately 15 acres just across what used to be the AC & Y tracks. This piece of land in Putnam County is still in the family, now owned by Mike and Pat Grothause. Mike’s mother was a Krieft. The only remnant of the Krieft name is on a street sign in the Heritage Meadow addition of north-eastern Delphos.
