| Welcome to the web site of the Livonia, Avon & Lakeville Railroad (LAL) and
subsidiary railroads. Our company has served rail freight customers with pride and distinction since 1964. Today, we offer multiple Class I railroad connections and award-winning rail/multimodal services designed to fit your requirements. From its beginning as a thirteen-mile short line, LAL has grown to a 282-mile system operating throughout western New York and northwestern Pennsylvania. LAL operates
in Livingston and Monroe Counties south of Rochester. The B&H Rail Corp. serves Steuben County west of Corning. The Western New York & Pennsylvania Railroad extends across southwestern New York and northwestern Pennsylvania. Bulk transfer and warehousing options extend your reach far beyond our rail lines. On LAL and its subsidiary
railroads, your location is a couple of hours or less from Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Corning and Jamestown via the New York State Thruway, I-390, and I-86. We can show you prime industrial and distribution sites accessible to these highways.  When you ship LAL, B&H, or WNYP, you receive a level of service that has earned national recognition. "Safety and Service" means this: If you have a hot car at the interchange, we will go get it. If you need a car switched, we will switch it promptly. This commitment to our customers is limited only by safety—our railroads have won many safety awards—and regulation. LAL tracks
your cars across the continent, and because we do this all day long, we may see patterns you wouldn't and sometimes quietly intervene to expedite your shipment.
Many customers rely upon us to take the lead in developing superior through-rated service proposals for their shipments. Because LAL participates in the rail industry's Interline Settlement System, we
are a full party to the rate-making process—knowledge that ensures that LAL will always be your most competitive option. Moreover, we understand trucking and distribution costs as well as rail. While we are big enough to get results, we are still small enough to care about your shipment, whether it's one car or a hundred. We know where each car is on our railroad, all day, every day. And we communicate what we know, both electronically and the old-fashioned way. Customized service…experience…market knowledge—all at a competitive price. Give us a call!
