[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by ValleyX</i> <br /><br />I'm not exactly sure without looking it up but the Wabash was built in pieces, the line via Adrian is not a alternative line. The line through Ft. Wayne once went to Toledo from Peru, the connection between New Haven and Butler, IN was constructed and opened in about 1901. Prior to this, Logansport was where the lines divided, the Wabash main to Detroit went via Columbia City, Churubusco, on up to Butler. This was sold off to the Vandalia (PRR) after the connection to Butler was built. Lots of this roadbed is still very visible if you drive St. Route 205 from Columbia City to Coldwater Road, or whatever Coldwater becomes when it gets near Garrett. <br /> <br />Detroit was the destination of the Cannonball, I guess that it just flows together, "Wabash Cannonball Trail". <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Ok cool, thanks... <br /> <br />I guess then the rusted rails crossing Indiana 120 just west of the ohio line were part of this 'columbia city-butler" line?(don't worry, I'm about out of questions) [:I]
