advertisement
Yesterday, RailAmerica Inc. announced subsidiary Central Railroad Co. of Indianapolis has notified the Surface Transportation Board of its plan to lease a 276-mile line from CSX Transportation, pending negotiations and a definitive lease agreement.
Known as the Fort Wayne Corridor, the line runs west from Crestline, Ohio, to Tolleston, Ind., due east of Chicago. Central Railroad officials expect the 83-mile short line to move 42,000 carloads annually on the corridor.
RailAmerica's Indiana & Ohio Railway connects and interchanges with CSXT on the line. Norfolk Southern Railway, Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad Co., and all western & Chicago-based railroads also interchange on the corridor. CSXT currently serves Fort Wayne Corridor customers Central Soya, Steel Dynamics Inc., Procter & Gamble, Cargill, and National Lime & Stone, which ship agricultural products, chemicals, metals, paper and minerals.
RailAmerica owns and operates 47 regionals and short lines in the United States and Canada.
