Wayne & Monroe County Freight Railroad
Freight rail for Wayne & Monroe Counties.Rochester market reach.
Ontario Midland helps manufacturers, processors, warehouses, and bulk shippers move freight, reach rail through transload, store equipment, and develop rail-served opportunities across Wayne and Monroe Counties with access to the greater Rochester market.
Wayne & Monroe Counties
Local freight rail connecting Wayne and Monroe Counties to the Rochester market and national rail network.
Ontario Midland has served freight customers since 1979, providing local rail service across Wayne and Monroe Counties, including the eastern Rochester metro area, with interchange to CSX at Newark.
OMID works directly with customers on freight movements, transload, storage, property, track access, and industrial-development needs. The starting point is the business requirement—not a one-size-fits-all transportation product.
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 location, railcar storage, a rail-served property, 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 movement and truck for local pickup or delivery through a location matched to the commodity and handling need.
Develop rail-served growth
Coordinate property, track, utilities, operating fit, site readiness, public partners, storage, and long-term freight strategy.
Properties & Transload
Start with the location. Then evaluate the freight and operating fit.
Explore OMID-served properties and transload opportunities in the Newark, Sodus, Webster, and broader Wayne–Monroe County corridor. Availability, capacity, zoning, utilities, track condition, handling, storage, service, and commercial terms require project-specific confirmation.

Why Rail
Freight capacity that supports more than a single shipment.
For the right commodity, lane, volume, and facility, rail can add capacity, extend market reach, reduce dependence on long-haul trucking, and support long-term industrial growth.
Move freight at railcar scale
Rail can consolidate repeat industrial and bulk volumes that would otherwise require multiple truck movements.
Reach national markets
CSX connectivity at Newark extends OMID customers to suppliers, processors, ports, and markets across North America.
Use rail without direct track
Transload creates a rail-to-truck path when the plant, warehouse, distribution point, or jobsite lacks a siding.
Build transportation resilience
Rail, transload, storage, and development options can support changing production, sourcing, and capacity needs.
Regional Impact
Freight infrastructure that helps industry stay, invest, and grow.
Ontario Midland maintains a transportation corridor that connects manufacturers, processors, warehouses, farms, industrial sites, and communities to the broader freight network.
