The Fulton County Railroad (reporting mark FC) is a privately held short-line railroad that runs from Rochester to Argos, Indiana, where it connects with the Norfolk Southern Railway. It is a switching railroad that originally provided service to only one customer, Wilson Fertilizer and Grain in Rochester, and operates approximately 13 miles of track.
In February 24, 2011, freight on FC infrastructure was handled by Elkhart and Western Railroad through Trackage rights. In addition to the original customer, it also served a scrap yard and occasional other customers.[1]
Starting in 2023 the new Rochester & Erie Railway (RERY) took over operations of the line from Rochester north to the NS interchange in Argo from the Elkhart & Western. [2]
