The Indiana and Ohio was formed in 1978 to operate a branch between Valley Junction, Ohio and Brookville, Indiana. Its second line, acquired in 1984, connected Mason, Ohio and Monroe, Ohio. The I&O set up a tourist operation known as the Indiana and Ohio Scenic Railway which operates over this line. Its third and final line, acquired in 1986, runs from Norwood, Ohio to Brecon, Ohio. Then it started to expanded north into Michigan when in 1991 it acquired the former DT&I line between Diann, Michigan and Washington Court House, Ohio. In 1994, it acquired two lines from Conrail in Springfield, Ohio: one between Springfield and Bellefontaine, Ohio; and one between Springfield and Mechanicsburg, Ohio. The Indiana and Ohio Central was the designated owner of these two lines until 2004. One of the I&O's major events took place in 1996 when it was acquired by Railtex. In 2000 Railtex was absorbed by RailAmerica and in 2004 the I&O absorbed the Indiana and Ohio Central Railroad another subsidiary of RailAmerica.
