Used to be part of a B&O line from Holloway Ohio (near Bellaire Ohio right across the river from Benwood Jct Wva) to Lorain that relied heavily on Ore, Coke, and Coal. And thats part of the reason CSX spun off the line around the 1987-88 timeframe to RJ Corman. Track was cut back to Uhrichsville (Dennison) in the mid 90s and connects with CSX at Warwick. The part from Sterling to Lorain is still operated by CSX.
