Vermillion Valley Railroad reporting mark|VVRR is a Class III short-line railroad that operates across the Indiana-Illinois state line near Danville, Illinois. Abandoned by the New York Central Railroad and CSX, the six mile stretch of railway was purchased in early 2003 by FNG Logistics Company, a subsidiary of Flex-N-Gate Corporation, that was created with the sole purpose of ensuring continued rail service at the company's plant west of Covington, Indiana. Operations began April 24, 2003.
The VVRR line is mi to km|6.14 in length. It begins at the Flex-N-Gate manufacturing plant in southern Warren County, Indiana, passes west through the town of Foster and into the northern tip of Vermillion County, then crosses the state line into Vermilion County, Illinois, where it joins a CSX route east of Danville.
