Cleveland Subdivision

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For the line northeast from downtown Cleveland, see Cleveland Terminal Subdivision.

The Cleveland Subdivision is a railroad line owned and operated by CSX Transportation in the U.S. state of Ohio. The line runs from a junction with the CL&W Subdivision at Lester northeast across the Short Line Subdivision near Brook Park to a terminus near Brooklyn[1] along a former Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road line.

[edit] History

The entire line was built in the 1890s as a branch of the Cleveland, Lorain and Wheeling Railway, whose main line is now the CL&W Subdivision.[citation needed] It became part of the B&O and CSX through leases and mergers.
