Central Railroad of Indiana Overview

Central Railroad Company of Indiana is a Class III short-line railroad that operates 96 miles of track in Southeastern Indiana and Southwestern Ohio. The majority of the railroad's traffic comes from grain, chemical products, steel, and completed automobiles. The CIND hauled around 8,500 carloads in 2008.

The line runs from Cincinnati, OH to Shelbyville, IN. Between Adams, IN (just north of the Honda Greensburg plant) and Shelbyville, the line is out of service. It runs adjacent to CSX Transportation's former Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Cincinnati to St. Louis main line from CIND MP 2.5 (Storrs) to MP 17.7 (Valley Jct.).

The trackage had been a part of the CCC&St.L (Big Four Railroad), part of what was the New York Central Railroad, later Penn Central Corporation and most recently Conrail.

Central Railroad of Indiana is a subsidiary of Genesee & Wyoming. G&W bought RailAmerica in 2012, which acquired CIND in 2000.

CIND interchanges with:

  • CSX in Cincinnati, OH and North Bend, OH
  • IORY in Cincinnati, OH
  • NS in Cincinnati, OH
