HI-RAIL TRAIL - 2018
This trail’s name stems from its historical use as a rail way within the Indiana Hi-Rail Corporation and was a railroad which operated lines here in Indiana, as well as in Illinois and Ohio. It ceased operations in 1997. The railroad was known for its extensive use of locomotives built by the American Locomotive Company.
This trail opened in November 9, 2018 and is currently the newest completed trail segment in Evansville. It is a 2.5 mile stretch of trail that runs along the west side of Highway 41, begins at Riverside Dr. and ends on Walnut Street, connecting to the Oakhill multi-use trail that begins at Walnut Street (East of Highway 41) and ends at East Virginia Street.
