The line is owned by the FNG Logistics Company {{reporting mark|FNG}}, a subsidiary of auto parts manufacturer Flex-N-Gate, its primary customer. Operations by the VVRR, owned by the Indiana Boxcar Corporation, began in 2003 after CSX abandoned the ex-New York Central Railroad line. HistoryThe line was completed in 1869 by the Indianapolis, Crawfordsville and Danville Railroad, and later became part of the Pekin-Indianapolis line of the Peoria and Eastern Railway, a New York Central Railroad subsidiary.[1] Successor Conrail abandoned the portion between Olin and Crawfordsville by 1985,[2][3] and in 1999 the remaining pieces were conveyed to New York Central Lines LLC for operation by CSX.[4] CSX filed with the Surface Transportation Board for abandonment between Danville and Olin in 2001, since there had been no traffic for the past three years.[5] Flex-N-Gate Corporation submitted an offer of financial assistance and bought the line through newly created FNG Logistics Corporation in December 2002.[6] The Vermilion Valley Railroad began operating the line in April 2003.[7] References1. ^Interstate Commerce Commission, 28 Val.
