CHICAGO, FORT WAYNE & EASTERN RAILROAD (CFE)

The Chicago, Fort Wayne and Eastern Railroad (CFE) is a short line offering service from Tolleston, Indiana to Crestline, Ohio. The CFE operates approximately 315 miles of rail between Indiana and Ohio. Based on the volume of over 39,000 cars per year, obviously this stretch of railroad which interchanges with most of the Class I carriers, is an important spoke in the wheel to move freight in this corridor.

Major commodities included in this business are lumber, paper, chemicals, steel beams, shelled corn, and other hazardous materials. Major customers for these commodities enjoy the transportation service that the CFE provides on a daily basis.

The CFE provides customers with access through the interchange carriers to all of North America enabling commodities to move quickly and safety to and from customers’ doors.
