In 1998 when it became clear that the Conrail merger was imminent, Ohio Valley Holdings LLC. decided to begin contacting CSX once it was decided that the former PRR line from Walbridge to Tiffin would go to the eastern giant. At first CSX was reluctant to deal with a new investment group with no experience in the industry but as time went on and CSX put the line up for sale, OVH ended up being the highest bidder and on 1-1-2000, Seneca Rail became the operator of the line from Toledo(via the old C&O passenger main up to the NS at Airline) with rights into Walbridge and Stanley to interchange with CSX to Tiffin where they also interchange with CSX.
