CSX Greenwhich Subdivision

CSX Greenwhich Subdivision The CSXT Greenwich Subdivision is part of what once was the Conrail Indianapolis Line, this was all NYC Big Four Territory and it was NYC's link to St. Louis.

This line is still highly active and see's 50-60 trains per day The CSX Greenwhich Subdivision is an important artery that hosts a majority of CSX's train traffic coming from the Midwest and beyond. From Olmsted Falls to Greenwhich. the line expects over 60 trains per day. From Greenwhich to Galion, the line carries about 20-25 trains per day. The Greenwhich Subdivision has its earliest roots dati

ng back to 1836, when the Cleveland, Columbus, & Cincinnati Railway was chartered to build a railroad from Cleveland, south to southwestern Ohio. The Railroad eventually got sucked up by many other railroads to form the Cleveland Cincinnati Chicago & St. Louis Railway. The railroad went by the name "Big Four", and was one of the Midwest's most recognized railroad. A couple decades later, the New York Central eventually leased the railroad and the Big Four became a subsidiary of the NYC. I 1968, the NYC merged with the Pennsylvania Railroad to form the Penn Central. Penn Central was a failure and the railroad could not suitably operate stable, and filed for bankruptcy in 1970. Conrail was created in 1976 to pick up the remaining pieces of the fallen and bankrupt railroads of the Northeast and Midwest, and Conrail picked up the old Big Four route for operations. Conrail started becoming a profit in 1981 and the future looked bright. In 1998,eastern railroads Norfolk Southern and CSX agreed to split Conrail, and in 1999, CSX and NS began operations over their aquired segments of Conrail. CSX gained the former NYC Mainline through upstate New York, A chunk of the old LS&MS mainline from Buffalo NY to Cleveland OH, and the entire Big Four mainline. Today, CSX uses this segment of the old Big Four as an important part of rail shipments, and the train traffic is heavy. Traffic is expected to increase heavily within the next 10 years, and the old Big Four route lives on.

The NYC Xplorer was a short lived train that ran between Cleveland, Ohio and Cincinnati, Ohio. It was the New York Central's attempt to modernize rail transportation for the folks living in the state of Ohio to connect the north part of the Buckeye State to the south side. The train was not successful, and lasted only but 4 years (1956-1960), however, it is still remembered for its attention-grabbing green and yellow livery. Ever since the Xplorer's failure, the state of Ohio has been very skeptical about bringing in a brand new Cleveland-Cincinnati intercity train. In today's world, if a new Cleveland-Cincinnati train was put into service, it would very likely be run by Amtrak, or the train would be state owned. It is unknown whether or not Ohio will get a cross-state train again, but if it does happen, it may be quite a long time from now. (Photographer is unknown) Seen here in the picture is the Xplorer stationed at the Galion depot in Galion, Ohio. Galion is the location where the CSX Greenwhich Sub ends, and become the Mount Victory Sub from Galion to Bellefontaine.
