CSX Indy Line, Part 1 (Marion to Sidney)

The CSX Indianapolis Line portrays action on the 66 mile long segment between Marion and Sidney Ohio. Conrail was the previous owner of what used to be called the “Bee Line”, which was the former NYC track that ran between Berea (Cleveland) Ohio and St. Louis. When NS and CSX divided Conrail, the Bee Line went to CSX. This section of the Indy Line consists of two subdivisions: the Indy Sub and Mt. Victory Sub.

We cover perhaps the busiest part of this Line because it is connected to the Toledo Sub at Sidney, the Toledo and Ohio Central and Scottslawn Secondary at Ridgeway and the former C&O line between Columbus and Toledo at Marion. You’ll see the colorful orange Schneider and blue Pacer Stack Trains in action as well as the “hot” Q-008 mail and stack train. Multilevel auto trains are in abundance as well as grain, mineral, coal, and of course manifest trains. Watch the Schneider Shuffle take a side trip to N. Baltimore Ohio on the Toledo and Ohio Central at Ridgeway, and negotiate the brand new connector tracks at both Ridgeway and Galatea. See the rail-fan favorite KCS Southern Belles in action in Ohio.
