Indiana Rail Road marks carload milestone

Indiana Rail Road Company Thursday celebrated a major milestone in its history as a regional railroad, officially moving its two-millionth carload of revenue freight at INRD’s Senate Avenue Terminal in Indianapolis. INRD officials, including company founder, President, and CEO Tom Hoback, were on hand to mark the event.

Indianapolis-based INRD says it took the company 18 years and 9 months to reach its first one million cars of revenue freight, in a span stretching from March 1986 to December 2004. But carload No. 2 million moved just six years and 11 months later.

INRD said it hauls a variety of industrial and consumer products for companies in central and southwestern Indiana and central Illinois.
