Columbus Line Subdivision

-
The Columbus Line Subdivision is a railroad line owned by CSX Transportation in the U.S. state of Ohio. The line runs from Galion south to Columbus[1] along a former New York Central Railroad line.
At its north end, the Columbus Line Subdivision meets the Greenwich Subdivision (northeast towards Cleveland) and the Mount Victory Subdivision (west towards Indianapolis). At its south end, it connects with the Columbus Subdivision (north towards Toledo and south towards Kentucky) and the Western Branch (northwest towards Toledo).
History
The line was opened by the Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati Railroad in 1851.[2] In 1853, the Bellefontaine and Indiana Railroad opened from Galion west into Indiana, making Galion the junction that it still is.[3] The line passed through mergers and takeovers into Conrail, and was assigned to CSX in Conrail's 1999 breakup.
