The Transkentucky Transportation Railroad, Inc. (reporting mark TTIS)[2] is a 50-mile rail transport line purchased from Louisville and Nashville Railroad in 1979 with the goal of transporting coal produced in Eastern Kentucky to the Ohio River. It is a Class III railroad[3] that operates freight service between Paris and Maysville.[4]
In 1991 CSX Transportation acquired Transkentucky Railroad Transportation, Inc. and Transcontinental Terminals, Inc.
The railroad is now owned by MB Railroad (Midwest & Bluegrass Rail), mainly providing transload services. It appears there is no longer a coal business, with much of their line out of service.
