The Norfolk Southern line through Worthington started in 1893 as the Columbus & Sandusky Short line. In 1902 the Pennsylvania Railroad purchased the line referred to as the PRR Sandusky Branch. In 1964 the Norfolk & Western acquired the line. In 1990 the N&W became the Norfolk & Southern Railroad (Sandusky District).
