Fulton County Railroad
Short-line railway in Indiana, United States
The Fulton County Railroad (reporting mark FC) is a privately held short-line railroad that runs from Rochester to Argos, Indiana, where it connects with the Norfolk Southern Railway. It is a switching railroad that originally provided service to only one customer, Wilson Fertilizer and Grain in Rochester, and operates approximately 13 miles of track.
In February 24, 2011, freight on FC infrastructure was handled by Elkhart and Western Railroad through Trackage rights. In addition to the original customer, it also served a scrap yard and occasional other customers.[1]
Starting in 2023 the new Rochester & Erie Railway (RERY) took over operations of the line from Rochester north to the NS interchange in Argo from the Elkhart & Western. [2]The main customer of the RERY is the Rochester Iron and Metal scrapyard. The railroad is actively seeking new customers including for transloads and car storage. A June 2024 visit to the RERY showed the former Erie Railroad track remnant had been upgraded with new ties and a string of tank cars was being stored on it. [3]
