| The Southern Indiana Railway was a short line in Indiana built to access the coal fields found there. Eventually it fell under the control of Chicago Milwaukee & St Paul (later, CMStP&P, later still, Milwaukee Road) in order to take advantage of the coal supply heading north to Chicago. The coal fields finally went defunct and along with the Milwaukee's financial problems caused trackage reductions. Jumping to 2006, the Indiana Rail Road took control of the remaining section of trackage between Terre Haute and Bedford. Only memories of the Southern Indiana Rwy remain. |
