The Central Railroad Company of Indiana (reporting mark CIND) is a Class III short-line railroad that owns 92 miles (148 km) of track between Cincinnati, Ohio, and Shelbyville, Indiana, with trackage rights on CSX to Indianapolis, Indiana. CIND interchanges with CSX, Indiana & Ohio Railway, and Norfolk Southern in Cincinnati, and in North Bend, Ohio, with CSX; an Indiana & Ohio branchline splits from the CIND line at Valley Junction, a railroad location near Hooven, Ohio.[1][2]
The line is owned and operated by Genesee & Wyoming. It was originally part of the Big Four Railroad, a long-time property of the New York Central Railroad, and was sold by Conrail in 1992. The CIND and its sister railroad, the Central Railroad of Indianapolis, were acquired by RailTex's Indiana & Ohio Railway in 1998, which became a RailAmerica holding in 2000; Genesee & Wyoming acquired RailAmerica in 2012.[1][3]
The majority of the railroad's traffic comes from finished Honda automobiles, produced by Honda Manufacturing of Indiana near Greensburg, Indiana, but grain, chemical products, steel, and other miscellaneous freight are also handled between Greensburg and Cincinnati; the Greensburg-Shelbyville portion has been out of service since 2006.[4] The CIND hauled around 8,500 carloads in 2008, and can handle freight cars weighing up to 286,000 pounds (143 short tons/129.7 tonnes).[1][2]
