Transkentucky Transportation Railroad


The Transkentucky Transportation Railroad, Inc. 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 that operates freight service between Paris and Maysville.
In 1991 CSX Transportation acquired Transkentucky Railroad Transportation, Inc. and Transcontinental Terminals, Inc.
The railroad is now owned by MB Railroad, mainly providing transload services. It appears there is no longer a coal business, with much of their line out of service.
