York Railway Overview

The York Railway is a shortline railroad operating 42 miles of track in and near York, Pennsylvania. The company was created in 1999 through a consolidation of Yorkrail, Inc. and the Maryland and Pennsylvania Railroad, both owned by the Emons Railroad Group. Genesee & Wyoming gained control of the company, and the other Emons properties, in 2002.

The York Railway operates two parallel main lines, with the line running from York (via Thomasville and Spring Grove) to Porters Sideling being the main line. The other line running from West York (via Bair and Spring Grove) to Hanover has been largely mothballed. Only the section between West York and Bair, and a small section in Spring Grove are still actively used. The railroad uses trackage rights over CSX to serve its final remaining customer in Hanover.

YRC interchanges with:

  • CSX at Porters Sideling and Hanover.
  • Norfolk Southern at York.
  • East Penn Railroad at York.
