Trains started coming to Pine Village in the 1870s. By 1883, a railway line was finished that ran north and south. This line was used to transport a lot of coal, so people called it the "Coal Road."
Later, the railway company had problems. In 1922, Charles F. Propst bought the line and named it the Chicago, Attica and Southern Railroad. However, this company also ran into trouble. The train tracks through Pine Village were removed in the fall of 1945. They were pulled up using a Belgian horse and a special tool called a block and tackle.
