The B-Line Trail is a 3.1 mile multi-use trail in the United States, connecting the downtown area of Bloomington, Indiana, to an area in a neighboring county. The trail connects with the Bloomington Rail Trail which in turn runs into the Limestone Trail.[1] Four plazas are located along the trail, which is fitted with LED lighting. Public art including murals and sculpture are located along the trail. There are also fitness stations.[2]
The trail runs along a former CSX Railroad bed.[3] It was part of a rail line for more than a century. Pollution from heavy metals and hydrocarbons has been an issue at some parts because of historic cinder and coal ash emissions.[4] The Environmental Protection Agency awarded money for environmental remediation, or cleanup, along the trail.[5]
A 33-year-old man was arrested for allegedly raping a 17-year-old he met on the trail in 2018.[6]
