I see the old B & O RR logo on the IHB viaduct. I don't understand that except that the B&OCT did have rights and had local industries at McCook, notably Reynolds Metals, now McCook Metals.

Duh! The B&O and now CSX has owned much of the IHB right of way from McCook east since 1886, before there was an IHB.
