The Crawfordsville Branch Subdivision is a railroad line owned and operated by CSX Transportation in the U.S. state of Indiana. The line branches off from the Indianapolis Terminal Subdivision and runs through Clermont, Indiana westward to [[Crawfordsville, IN|Crawfordsville, Indiana][1], along a former Penn Central (later Conrail) line.
History
The line of track was originally constructed in 1869 by the Indiana, Bloomington and Western Railway[2]. In 1889, a failed reorganization of this railway would result in the line being sold to the Peoria and Eastern Railway, which later surrendered it's operational rights to the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railway. This railroad operated the track until it's acquisition by the New York Central Railroad in 1906, and was fully incorporated into New York Central in 1930. Following this, the line would pass ownership onto the Penn Central Transportation Company following its acquisition of New York Central in 1968. After the Bankruptcy of Penn Central, the line would be owned, but not operated on, by Conrail after it's absorption. During the split of Conrail[3] in 1989, this line would be assigned to CSX. The line is still operated on daily by CSX to this day.
