The Perry County Port Authority is a key transportation hub located in Tell City, Indiana, where the Ohio River meets an active short-line railroad. As an intermodal facility, it plays a significant role in connecting river and rail freight, facilitating the movement of commodities in and out of southwestern Indiana. The Authority manages a public port at mile marker 727 on the Ohio River and oversees the Hoosier Southern Railroad, a 22-mile short-line track that links the port to the national rail network via a Norfolk Southern connection. Operations are tailored to serve bulk cargo shippers, making the port an important link for regional manufacturing, agriculture, and energy industries. The Perry County Port Authority supports economic development throughout Perry County, helping attract industry and create jobs by providing multimodal freight options. Its strategic location, efficient transfer capabilities, and ability to accommodate diverse cargo types have made the Authority a vital component of the Midwest's inland waterway logistics system.
