History
The line was built by the Cleveland, Painesville and Ashtabula Railroad and opened in 1851. Through mergers, leases, and takeovers, it became part of the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway, New York Central Railroad, Penn Central and Conrail. When Conrail was broken up in 1999, the main line east of downtown Cleveland, including the Cleveland Terminal Subdivision, was assigned to CSX.

Figuring the natures of the times deceased,

With a near aim, of the main chance of things
As yet not come to life.”
