The Point Comfort and Northern Railway (reporting mark PCN) is a Class III railroad operating in the U.S. state of Texas. The railroad operates over 14 miles (23 km)[1] of track between Point Comfort, Texas, (at the Port of Port Lavaca - Point Comfort) and Lolita, Texas, where the railroad transfers cars with Union Pacific.
PCN was purchased by the holding company RailAmerica in 2005; RailAmerica in turn was purchased by Genesee & Wyoming.
The railroad's traffic largely comes from aluminum products from Alcoa World Alumina & Chemicals as well as plastics.
PCN hauled around 12,500 carloads in 2008.[1]
