Editing Pine Village, Indiana (section)

===Rail service===
Rail service reached the town in the 1870s. The year 1883 witnessed the completion of a north/south [[Chicago and Great Southern Railway]] (later the [[Chicago and Indiana Coal Railway]]) line between [[Attica, Indiana|Attica]] and [[Fair Oaks, Indiana|Fair Oaks]], some {{convert|50|mi}} to the north. The line was later part of the [[Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railroad]]. It came to be known as the "Coal Road" for the large quantities of [[coal]] transported along it. When the C&EI floundered in the early 1920s, Charles F. Propst purchased the Coal Road and in October 1922 incorporated it as the [[Chicago, Attica and Southern Railroad]]. The CA&S was placed in [[receivership]] on August 5, 1931, and incremental abandonment occurred over subsequent years.<ref>{{cite book
