Vermilion Valley Railroad

The Vermilion Valley Railroad (reporting mark VVRR) is a 5.9-mile (9.5 km) short-line railroad that operates across the Indiana-Illinois state line, connecting the Flex-N-Gate Corporation facility west of Covington, Indiana with CSX Transportation in Danville, Illinois.

Operations by the VVRR began in 2003 after CSX abandoned the ex-New York Central Railroad line.

[2] Successor Conrail abandoned the portion between Olin and Crawfordsville by 1985,[3][4] and in 1999 the remaining pieces were conveyed to New York Central Lines LLC for operation by CSX.

[5] CSX filed with the Surface Transportation Board for abandonment between Danville and Olin in 2001, since there had been no traffic for the past three years.

[8] After being run by Indiana Boxcar Corporation until 2019 and Midwest and Bluegrass until 2023, VVRR operations have transitioned to Gulf & Atlantic Railways.
