Currently the original line exists as part of the Gloster Southern Railroad, while the newer segment was abandoned.
The Illinois Central sold the Columbia - Silver Creek line to the Marion County Railroad Authority in March 1982.
Service began shortly thereafter, and the line was sold November 1, 1988 to the Gloster Southern.
