The **Willard Subdivision** is a [railroad](/source/Railroad) line owned and operated by [CSX Transportation](/source/CSX_Transportation) in the U.S. state of [Ohio](/source/Ohio). The line runs from [Willard](/source/Willard,_OH) west to [Deshler](/source/Deshler,_OH)[1] along a former [Baltimore and Ohio Railroad](/source/Baltimore_and_Ohio_Railroad) (B&O) line. At its east end, at Daniels Road west of Willard, the line becomes the [Willard Terminal Subdivision](/source/Willard_Terminal_Subdivision). Its west end is at the east end of the [Garrett Subdivision](/source/Garrett_Subdivision), just east of Deshler and the [Toledo Subdivision](/source/Toledo_Subdivision). The line is split at [Fostoria](/source/Fostoria,_OH) by the [Fostoria Subdivision](/source/Fostoria_Subdivision), which includes the junction with the [Columbus Subdivision](/source/Columbus_Subdivision), and at [Galatea](/source/Galatea,_Ohio) the line intersects the [Toledo Branch Subdivision](/source/Toledo_Branch_Subdivision). This was once Amtrak's Three rivers line.[2][3]

## History

The line was opened by the [Baltimore, Pittsburgh and Chicago Railway](/source/Baltimore,_Pittsburgh_and_Chicago_Railway) in 1874.[4] It became part of the B&O and CSX through leases and mergers.
