Jimmy & JC McHugh exited the NH&I and other McHugh Bros. companies in December 1985 this is when three other McHugh family members began to operate the NH&I and McHugh Bros companies which lead to the closure of the McHugh Bros companies in 1989 along with the NH&I operation. These three other McHugh family members hated the railroad part of the McHugh operation and in 1986 under the direction of Edward, Jerry, & Adliede McHugh along with Bill McNutly, the NH&I was let to become another failing shortline. .
