US short line railroad changes hands


Louisville & Indiana Railroad (LIRC), an Anacostia affiliate, has acquired the assets and operating rights of the former Southern Indiana Railway (SIND), a short line located in the Louisville metropolitan area, USA. Until 2020, SIND served customers along its 8.85 km of line between Speed and a connection with CSX Transportation at Watson (IN). The surface transportation board has already approved the acquisition.

 

LIRC will use SIND’s rail assets to enhance its existing freight service, including conversion of the SIND engine house to a maintenance-of-way facility and surrounding property to store track material. Other portions of SIND rail infrastructure offer opportunities to expand the railroad’s service to industrial sites. (ben)
