Until about 2005, there was freight business on the line. A coal-fired electric generating plant a few miles north of Noblesville received coal in 25- or 50-car cuts. Indiana Rail Road was ( and is) the designated freight operator, but ITM dispatched every freight train. ITM either provided a pilot for each freight movement or qualified Indiana Rail Road crews to operate on the line.

No I.t.m. is a museum for passenger service only because of regulations
And it's a museum with no businesses on the line ( at least that want service)
