Steuben County Freight Railroad
Local rail service. Southern Tier market reach.
B&H helps manufacturers, processors, warehouses, and bulk shippers move freight, reach rail through transload, store equipment, and develop rail-served opportunities across Steuben County and the Southern Tier.
Steuben County & the Southern Tier
A local railroad positioned for industrial freight.
B&H serves a practical industrial corridor that includes Wayland, Cohocton, Bath, Coopers Plains, and Painted Post. The railroad works directly with customers moving raw materials, finished products, equipment, and other freight suited to rail.
Through interchange with Norfolk Southern at Painted Post, B&H connects local facilities and transload users to the broader North American rail network while keeping service and commercial support local.
How We Help
Start with the freight, the facility, or the growth plan.
The right answer may be an existing rail lane, a nearby transload facility, a rail-served property, warehouse space, railcar storage, a new siding, or a coordinated industrial-development project.
Move freight by rail
Evaluate the commodity, origin, destination, annual volume, railcar, handling method, route, service needs, and commercial structure.
Reach rail without a siding
Use rail for the long-haul portion and trucks for local pickup or delivery through a B&H transload location matched to the commodity.
Develop rail-served growth
Coordinate property, track, utilities, truck access, operating fit, public partners, storage, and long-term freight strategy.
Properties & Transload
Start with the location. Then evaluate the freight and operating fit.
Explore B&H-served transload facilities, industrial properties, buildings, development sites, storage opportunities, highway access, utilities, and the contacts responsible for each location.
Wayland, Cohocton, Coopers Plains, and Painted Post provide several starting points, but B&H can also evaluate customer-owned properties, temporary transload needs, new rail access, track expansion, and projects not shown as publicly available locations.

Why Freight Rail
A transportation option built for volume, distance, and industrial growth.
Rail works best when the freight profile, lane, equipment, facility, and service plan fit together. B&H can help identify where rail adds practical value.
Move freight at railcar scale
Consolidate large volumes into equipment designed for bulk, heavy, dense, or dimensional freight.
Reach national markets
Connect local production and receiving facilities to longer-haul rail lanes through Norfolk Southern.
Use rail without direct track
Combine rail line-haul economics with flexible local trucking through a matched transload location.
Build supply-chain resilience
Add transportation, storage, staging, and sourcing options that support changing production needs.
Regional Impact
Freight infrastructure that helps Steuben County industry stay, invest, and grow.
A local railroad is more than track between two points. It preserves industrial access, supports existing employers, gives new projects a rail option, and keeps freight infrastructure available for the next generation of regional businesses.
