Rydman & Fox operates the Indian Creek Railroad from their location northwest of Anderson, Indiana, to the Florida Station connection with main line railroad service. Indian Creek Railroad was formed in 1981 to provide economical shipping of outgoing grain and incoming bulk fertilizer for Rydman & Fox customers. The company operates numerous trains each year headed by their locomotive, #6002, shown at left on a brisk February 2002 morning. Acquired in 1982, the #6002 is an ex-Southern Paciic Alco RS11 built in 1959 and rebuilt in 1996. The well maintained RS11 earns its keep filling hoppers, making up grain trains to be picked up at Florida Station on Norfolk Southern's Indian Creek Secondary, and bringing fertilizer cars back up the hill to the bulk storage facilitiy.

The Interstate Railroad was founded in 1896. It consisted of 5 3/4 miles of single track, 1 used locomotive, 1 day coach, 1 baggage car, 1 combine car, 3 boxcars, 2 flat cars and a section car. The tracks to the mines and ovens were under the control of the VC&I Company (Interstate's parent company). A few years later, the road made a connection with the Virginia & Southwestern RR (became part of the Southern) providing a southbound outlet for the coal of the region. The railroad gradually spread east until it made a connection with the N&W at Norton in 1909. In 1923, the Interstate RR stretched again to make a connection with the CC&O (later Clinchfield) at Miller Yard. The L&N used trackage rights over this section (Guest River Extension), in the 30's, to deliver coal to the CC&O. In 1935, the IRR and L&N esablished a flat rate per car arrangement. The L&N would drop off it's Clinchfield bound loads at Dorchester Jct. and the IRR would deliver them to Miller Yard. This arrangement lasted 38 years, ending in 1973. The Interstate made it's money a little different then most railroads. The normal way, delivering online coal from the mines to the interchange points. The other way, was through per-diem charges on the hopper fleet. Each night at midnight, a record is made of where all the revenue cars are located. The railroad holding the cars is charger a per-diem fee to be paid to the owner. Interstate crews were very good at the per-diem game. If a foreign road car was on the line for loading, it was placed at the tipple to be loaded first. The car would then be loaded and moved to the interchange before midnight. When the L&N or the Clinchfield delivered cars for the Interstate to move to another interchange, no matter what time it was, the IRR would send a crew out to move the cras to the interchange and off their rails. This way, another railroad had to pay the per-diem charges. By managing their per-diem charges and making sure Interstate hoppers spent most of their time off-line, the Interstate showed a profit almost every year. In the late 1950's, the Interstate's fleet of 5 ton hoppers were getting old and in need of replacement. The cost of buying and builting a new fleet was too high for the little railroad. The management decided to put the railroad up for sale. Both, the L&N and Southern, placed bids for the line. The Southern was the high bidder and took ownership in Oct. 1960. From 1960 to 1965, Southern left the line the way it was. On September 10, 1965, all that changed. The Southern closed it's Appalachia yard and moved to Andover. The Interstate's RS3's were moved south to work as yard and transfer engines in Georgia and the Carolina's. The Southern replaced the RS3's with old F-units for the IRR mine runs. The Interstate crews were not happy and it made their jobs alot harder. In the late 60's, the Southern brought in GP38's for use on the branch lines. A transloading facility was built at the ex-Southern yard in Appalachia by the Westmoreland Coal Company. This facility became the destination for many single car loads from the tipples on the ex-Interstate. These local run only cars were old 50 and 70 ton hoppers, also known as yellow balls. This facility would process the coal and reload it into larger cars, that were part of a unit train. The loader at Wentz also became a unit train loader. The next major change came with the 1982 merger of Southern and N&W (becoming Norfolk Southern). On Oct.31st, 1985, the Interstate ceased to exist as a separate entity. Control of the area was transferred to the Clinch Valley Extension of the Pocahontas Division.

Federated Railways is a wholly owned subsidiary of Federated Financial Corporation of America. Federated Railways was created in 2003 to serve the ever increasing capital needs of regional and national rail authorities for new and used passenger car and locomotive needs in the United States. The current management team represents a wealth of knowledge and experience in the railroad industry. Our goal is to listen to our customer's unique needs for new and used trains and to work with them to customize a program that fits your current and future needs. FFCA operates diverse strategic business groups that expand into a host of vertical markets. We have a unique combination of financial strength, vision and ability to grow in new markets, and remarkable in-house talent. Since 1974, Federated Financial Corporation of America has focused on building, developing and nurturing companies that are shaping the future of business in the United States. With over 30 years of finance and leasing expertise and over 20 years of rolling stock experience with over $1 billion in leases, Federated has extensive experience in the finance, leasing and rolling stock markets. Through its involvement and experience in financing rolling stock over the years, Federated had identified a huge need for Regional and National rail authorities to be able to lease or rent rail cars for an affordable monthly payment, to meet growing customer demand or to roll out new service. Rather than being forced to only purchase new and used passenger equipment, the lease finance option allows the rail authority to not be required to go for large capital budget approvals and to better meet their cyclical demands of service and to not lock themselves into a permanent solution that might meet their needs today but could create other problems in the future. In addition, the lease option allows the railroad passenger operations the ability to standardize the types of cars they are running and maintaining, which allows them to dramatically reduce their maintenance and administrative costs. In starting Federated Railways, Federated has handpicked a senior management team with extensive experience in the passenger and freight railroad industry as well as leasing and finance. In early 2004, Federated Railways negotiated the purchase over 40 Budd Built Bi-Level gallery cars and 8 Bud Built cab cars and trains for deployment in 2004 and 2005. Currently there are 3 additional purchases that Federated is negotiating. Federated will continue to pursue strategic acquisitions of additional cars and locomotives, railroad maintenance companies and railroad consulting companies that allow Federated to continue to offer a variety of services that include: Unique short and long term railcar leasing programs. Consulting services for passenger car acquisition, component specification, fleet sizing and the completion of the RFP process. Railcar maintenance programs. Federated Railways is committed to providing services that are customized and financially viable to meet your railroad needs.

Launched in July 2005, the Sacramento RiverTrain is one of the nation's newest dinner trains. Trips aboard our train feature food and entertainment while you roll through the countryside. While the RiverTrain is new, the equipment and railroad have a long history. The Sacramento RiverTrain operates on the 16-mile "Woodland Branch" between Woodland and West Sacramento , CA . The Woodland Branch was constructed in 1911 by the Northern Electric Co. as the Sacramento and Woodland Railroad to link the fertile farmlands of Yolo County with the developing city of Sacramento . The Northern Electric was integrated into the Sacramento Northern Railway and the line was operated for transit and freight for many years. At its peak, the Woodland Branch offered eight roundtrip passenger trains daily from Woodland to Sacramento . The line was electrified by third rail, except in Woodland where overhead power was used. In 1940 passenger operations came to an end with the advent of World War II. Powered now by diesel locomotives, the Sacramento Northern Railway continued to move a high volume of freight over the line up until the early 1960's. Slowly, the various railspurs were torn up along the route and eventually only the industries in Woodland remained. Soon those started to disappear as well, until the Woodland Branch became a mere shadow of its former self. The Sacramento Northern was acquired by the Western Pacific Railroad which in turn was merged with the Union Pacific in 1984.
