historiCAL SKETCH

In 1863 construction began on the Union & Logansport line, linking Union City, in Randolph County, Indiana and Darke County, Ohio, with Logansport, in Cass County, and the Chicago & Great Eastern Railroad.  The Pennsylvania Railroad provided some of the financing and the line was completed in 1867.  On 12 February 1868 the U&L was consolidated with the Columbus & Indiana Central and the Toledo, Logansport & Burlington to form the Columbus, Chicago & Indiana Central.
