Active CSX rail siding for transloading
Cincinnati is home to one of the largest rail yards in the United States. CSXT and NS operate over 70 miles of track within a 5-mile stretch on the west side of Cincinnati. Local short lines interchanging with CN are also operated by a short line provider, Genesee & Wyoming (G&W). The convergence of three different Class 1 railroads makes Cincinnati a great option for rail freight.
