Belpre Industrial Parkersburg Railroad: New Shortline, Old B&O Routes!

Belpre Industrial Parkersburg Railroad. The name may be cumbersome, but the diesels are sharp and the route is incredibly scenic.

Earlier in 2020, with CSX wanting to get rid of their now-branch lines out of Parkersburg, a shortline was created just for that. The BIP runs out of Parkersburg's High Yard, once B&O's St. Louis Line, and has one piece of track running a few miles to a chemical plant in Belpre. They also have a line running along the Ohio River to Marietta (including some streetrunning!), then following the Muskingum River to Relief and serving customers along the way. It seems to be a success so far!
