Erie West Subdivision

Erie West Subdivision

The Erie West Subdivision is a railroad line owned by CSX Transportation in the U.S. states of Pennsylvania and Ohio. The line runs from Erie, Pennsylvania southwest along the shore of Lake Erie to Cleveland, Ohio [ [http://web.archive.org/web/20030120051214/www.trainweb.org/csxtimetables/GreatLakes/ErieWest.html CSX Timetables: Erie West Subdivision] ] along the former New York Central Railroad main line.

At its east end (west of downtown Erie), the Erie West Subdivision becomes the Lake Shore Subdivision; at its west end (east of downtown Cleveland), it becomes the Cleveland Terminal Subdivision. This subdivision is also known as the Great Lakes Service Lane.
Amtrak's "Lake Shore Limited" uses the Erie West Subdivision.

History

The line was built by the Cleveland, Painesville and Ashtabula Railroad and opened in 1852. [PDFlink| [http://www.prrths.com/Hagley/PRR1852%20Mar%2005.pdf PRR Chronology, 1852] |83.5 KiB , March 2005 Edition] Through mergers, leases, and takeovers, it became part of the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway, New York Central Railroad, and Conrail. When Conrail was broken up in 1999, the main line east of Cleveland, including the Erie West Subdivision, was assigned to CSX.
