Map
The Ohio River Subdivision is a specific portion of a railroad system that runs along the Ohio River, owned and operated by CSX Transportation in the U.S. state of West Virginia. The line runs from Wheeling southwesterly along the east (left) shore of the Ohio River to Huntington[2] along a former Baltimore and Ohio Railroad line.[3][4]
The Ohio River Subdivision intersects the Short Line Subdivision at New Martinsville, the Marietta Subdivision at Parkersburg, and the Kanawha Subdivision at Huntington. It also intersects the Kanawha River Railroad at Point Pleasant, where CSX has trackage rights across the Ohio on the Point Pleasant Rail Bridge to the short Pomeroy Subdivision in the state of Ohio.
