History of the Columbus, Sandusky and Hocking Railroad
The Columbus, Sandusky and Hocking Railroad was created in 1893 by the consolidation of the Columbus, Shawnee and Hocking and the Sandusky and Columbus Short Line. It ran from Columbus to Sandusky passing through Marion. It ultimately became a part of the Toledo Division of the Pennsylvania Railroad through leases and mergers. In 1964 the Norfolk and Western Railway bought the line from PR. As of 2010, it is known as the Sandusky District of the Norfolk Southern Railway.
