The railroad ran a branch line between Saint Marys, through Russells Point and towards East Liberty and Columbus. By the 1960s the section that ran between Bellefontaine and East Liberty was abandoned when it was part of the New York Central and then the remaining trackage between St. Marys and Bellefontaine abandoned in the 1970s when Penn Central fell into bankruptcy.
