Indiana Northeastern Railroad (IN) began operations back in 1992, evolving from its initial operation, the Pigeon River Railroad,
through the purchase of several lines of the Hillsdale County Railway. Most of the rail lines the IN operates today are lines from
those two railroads. At the time of purchase of the Hillsdale County Railway lines, the former owner had become financially troubled
and had deferred maintenance, leaving much of the railroad in the poorest of conditions. In fact, it was difficult for trains to travel
from one end of the railroad to the other without experiencing minor derailments en route. Through numerous track rehabilitation
projects and careful management of its resources, the IN has been transformed into a solid, stable and dependable operation
capable of handling its diverse flow of traffic in a timely, professional manner.
Today's Indiana Northeastern Railroad stretches nearly 130 miles in length across northeastern Indiana, northwest Ohio and
southern lower Michigan. Most of the railroad's traffic interchanges with Norfolk Southern at Montpelier, Ohio. A connection in
Sturgis, Michigan with the Michigan Southern Railroad allows for additional interchange of traffic.
Commodities moved by Indiana Northeastern Railroad include corn, soybeans, wheat and flour. We also handle plastics,
fiberboard, aluminum, copper, coal, perlite, stone, lumber, glass, rendering products, as well as agricultural fertilizers and
chemicals. The railroad's traffic base has continued to increase, in spite of occasional downturns in the economy. Our growth in
such times is an indicator of our railroad's strength and resilience.
