In 1879, there was a foreclosure and reorganization of the company, after which it was known as the Indiana, Bloomington and Western. In 1881, it merged with the Ohio, Indiana And Pacific Railway , which operated from Springfield, Ohio to Indianapolis, Indiana , and retained the name "Indiana, Bloomington and Western." The extension of the rail line from Indianapolis to Springfield opened in 1883. The financial difficulties of the company continued, however, and in 1887, there was another foreclosure and sale of the company's assets, resulting in a reorganization, after which the company was known as the Ohio, Indiana and Western Railway. The reorganization was unsuccessful, however, and another foreclosure ensued in 1889. After reorganization, the line from Indianapolis westward passed to the Peoria And Eastern Railway , while the newer track east of Indianapolis went to the Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago And St. Louis Railway . |
