Historical Note
The Indianapolis, Bloomington and Western Railway was opened in October 1869 and operated trips between Indianapolis, Indiana and Peoria, Illinois. The railway was reorganized in August 1879 as the Indiana, Bloomington and Western Railway. On March 24, 1881, an agreement to merge the railway with the Ohio, Indiana and Pacific Railway was reached and an extension was completed to Springfield, Ohio in 1883. Five years later, the company went into receivership and was sold in March 1887.
