Indiana Southwestern Railway Co. (ISW)

The Indiana Southwestern Railway Co. (ISW) became Pioneer Railcorp's 15th shortline railroad subsidiary at 12:01AM on April 1, 2000. In a series of asset purchase transactions, the ISW acquired all of the rail facilities owned or leased by the Evansville Terminal Railway Company (EVT). The rail line begins on the west side of Evansville at a place called Harwood Yard and runs north to Poseyville, Indiana along the former Peoria, Decatur and Evansville Railroad (later Illinois Central Railroad). At Poseyville the railroad runs east to Cynthiana, Indiana along the former Chicago & Eastern Illinois Railroad's Mount Vernon Branch (later L&N, then CSX). The total length of the ISW is 23 main line miles and interchanges with CSX in Evansville.
