US shortline railroad purchased

The Allegheny Valley Railroad (AVR) has completed the purchase of 76 km of rail lines from CSX Transportation. AVR previously leased and operated the line in and around Pittsburgh PA (USA) since 2003.

The lines in the transaction include the former CSX yard at Glenwood (outside Pittsburgh); the W&P subdivision from Glenwood to Washington PA, including the Tylerdale connecting track; and the P&W subdivision running north towards Evans City PA.

AVR started operations in 1995 and belongs to Carload Express. The US shortline railroad operates 125 km of track in the greater Pittsburgh area and offers rail services to a wide variety of green and brownfield sites. (ben)
