Buffalo & Pittsburgh Railroad

The Buffalo & Pittsburgh Railroad (BPRR) is a 368-mile regional freight railroad that interchanges with the Allegheny Valley Railroad, Canadian Pacific Railway, Canadian National, CSX Transportation, Nittany & Bald Eagle Railroad, Norfolk Southern, Rochester & Southern Railroad, and Western New York & Pennsylvania Railway.

Commodities transported include aggregates, brick and cement, automotive, chemicals, coal, food and feed products, forest products, metallic ores and minerals, and steel and scrap.

In 2010, BPRR received the E.H. Harriman Gold Award for the best employee safety record among railroads working less than four million employee-hours in 2009. It also won two President’s Awards from the American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association for most hours of injury-free operation and for best safety rate in the 250,000 plus man-hours category.

The BPRR was acquired by Genesee & Wyoming in 1988.
