Youngstown & Austintown Railroad

yarr_state The Youngstown & Austintown Railroad is a 5-mile short line railroad that interchanges with CSX Transportation, Norfolk Southern, and Youngstown Belt Railroad in an industrial area west of Youngstown, Ohio. The line utilizes former Erie Railroad branchlines and includes a small shop facility on Oakwood Avenue in Austintown. The pike was originally part of the Ohio Central System of shortlines, all of which are now owned by shortline operator Genesee & Wyoming.
