History
The line was built by the Cleveland, Painesville and Ashtabula Railroad and opened in 1852.[ 3] Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway , New York Central Railroad , and Conrail . When Conrail was broken up in 1999, the main line east of Cleveland, including the Erie West Subdivision, was assigned to CSX. In 2007 in Painesville, Ohio on this line, a major freight train derailment occurred resulting in the spill of ethanol and a large fire.[ 4]
In 2010, its eastern terminus was extended to Buffalo when the Lake Shore Subdivision was transferred from the Albany Division to the Great Lakes Division and absorbed. [ 5]
