Bloomington was traditionally home to two major rail lines; one came from Gosport and entered the city from the northeast before turning south and going downtown between Walnut Street and Rogers Street. It then went south to Bedford. This line was abandoned and is in the midst of a rails-to-trails project.
The other line, which is still in existence, comes from Bloomfield, passes by the Monroe County Airport and behind Kohl's. It goes by bridges over SR 37 and Walnut Street and through the Indiana University campus, where loads of coal are dropped at the power plant. It crosses Pete Ellis Drive at a crossing just south of 10th Street before returning to a bridge to cross Smith Road. It then follows SR 45 to Bean Blossom before heading north.
