The trail runs along a former CSX Railroad bed.^[2] 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.^[3] The Environmental Protection Agency awarded money for environmental remediation and cleanup along the trail.^[4]

The trail's route includes Switchyard Park.^[5] The trail is used by some commuters who bicycle to workplaces such as Indiana University.^[6]

In 2020, the Captain Janeway Bloomington Collective placed the Captain Kathryn Janeway birthplace monument [d] next to the B-Line Trail near the WonderLab science museum.^[7][8]
