Youngstown Belt Railroad Overview
The Youngstown Belt Railroad is a part of Genesee & Wyoming, serving the area northwest of Youngstown, Ohio. It began operations in 1997, mainly on ex-Erie Railroad trackage, the "Lordstown Cluster," acquired from Conrail in 1996. It also leases a short ex-Baltimore and Ohio Railroad segment from CSX Transportation.
The company operates in three separate areas near Warren, Niles, and Youngstown, connected by trackage rights over the Norfolk Southern Railway.
The Youngstown Belt also operates the Youngstown & Austintown Railroad at Youngstown, Warren & Trumbull Railroad at Warren, and a short spur of the Mahoning Valley Railway at Youngstown which has no customers.
YB interchanges in Youngstown with the Norfolk Southern at Haselton Yard and with CSX.
