Rail Systems in Indiana
Indianapolis was the first U.S. city whose growth was dependent entirely on railroads. Three of the nations’ Class I freight railroads - CSX Transportation, Canadian National Railway, and Norfolk Southern Railway have main lines in Indiana that link multiple manufacturing regions throughout the country. Indiana has 39 Class II and Class III railroads, one intercity passenger railroad – Amtrak, one commuter railroad – Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District and five tourist railroads.About Multimodal
