History

Initial sections

The Former B&O branch from New Miami, Ohio to Middletown, Ohio was built for the express purpose of serving the massive steel mill belonging to the American Rolling Mills (ARMCO), now owned by AK Steel. CSX Transportation still uses this line daily as its Middletown Subdivision of the Louisville Division.

Consolidation

The B&O itself merged with the C&O in 1987, which itself became part of CSX Transportation in that year. [8]

gollark: As the thing was already said.
gollark: I was saying that *coral* was unoriginal.
gollark: What I would do is deploy wireshark, and then snoop on all its traffic ever.
