Info on two the Newest Railroads in the US.

Hi, I am looking for information on the Ohio South Central and the Cincinatti East Terminal Railway

 

Primarily what towns they server and what industries they serve.

 

I do know that the OSC (Don't know the exact reporting mark) is owned by Terry Respondek, while the CCET (I think that's the reporting mark) is owned by Pioneer

Ohio South Central (Respondek) took over the the former USRail/ Jackson & Southern operation at Jackson, Ohio (Ex B&O/ DTI  line spun off to Great Miami RR)

Vinton/Dundas/Jackson/Hamden/Keystone/Monroe/Eifort - County owns the underlying RR and US Rail pretty much ran off what online business was left.

 

CCET is ex- N&W & PRR running in the industrial east bottoms of Cincy,  to Newtown thru Red Bank and old Clare Yard, west end of N&W's old P-Vine as far east as Afton. (25+ miles ....Not Pioneer Railcorp)
