Intermodal transportation is one of the many reasons Ohio is a leader in industry and commerce by providing a strategic location from which businesses produce, assemble and distribute their finished goods. Regional and shortline railroads also keep Ohio competitive locally and nationally. Ranking 4th in total rail miles and having the highest concentration of rail lines per square mile in the nation, Ohio’s rail system is vital to the global transportation network.

Rail runs throughout the Lake Erie Industrial Park and could service covered warehousing space or open space. Ottawa County’s major rail service provider is Norfolk Southern.
