The Appanoose County Community Railroad (reporting mark APNC) was based out of Centerville, Iowa.

It was a shortline running to the community of Albia, Iowa, where it distributed cars from Centerville to be put on the BNSF Railway's trains.

The railroad was created via a grassroots effort by local residents and civic leaders of Centerville, eventually receiving federal and state funding.

Tracks and diesel locomotives were purchased from the Burlington Northern Railroad and the bankrupt Rock Island Line.
