A Description
A brief overview and explanation
The
CSXT Greenwich Subdivision is part of what once was the Conrail Indianapolis
Line, which has been divided into three CSX subdivisions:
the
Greenwich SD, Mount Victory SD (CP-80 to CP-138), and Indianapolis Line SD
(CP-138 to IP 273.5). This is all NYC Big Four territory, and was
NYC's
link from New York City to Columbus, Cincinnati, and St. Louis.
This
particular stretch of the Big Four was originally chartered as the Cleveland
Columbus and Cincinnati Railway Company on March 14, 1836. However, the first
through train from Cleveland to Columbus didn't run until February 21, 1851.
The
CC&C Rwy was consolidated with the Bellefontaine Railroad Company
just
a few days later on March 3, 1851, and together the two formed the Cleveland Columbus Cincinnati and
Indianapolis Railway Company in 1868.
In
1889 the Cleveland Columbus Cincinnati & Indianapolis Railway Company was
consolidated with the Cincinnati Indianapolis St Louis
&
Chicago Railway Company and the Indianapolis & St Louis Railway Company to
form the CLEVELAND CINCINNATI CHICAGO
AND St LOUIS RAILWAY COMPANY (aka "the Big Four"), a wholly
owned subsidiary of the New York Central Railroad.
Ownership
passed into the hands of Penn Central and then Conrail. Today it serves as
CSXT's link from New York City to St. Louis and Chicago, and remains a very
busy piece of railroad.
