If you mention the City of Madison to residents of "The Hoosier State", they’ll tell you of its stunning beauty and rich history. Located in Jefferson County, Indiana Madison is known for its presence on the mighty Ohio River. Founded in 1809 while Indiana was still just a territory, the easy access from the Ohio River and the Michigan Road allowed the city to grow and flourish. Madison would eventually become the busiest river town along the Ohio, surpassing even Cincinnati and Louisville in riverboat traffic prior to the 1850s.

In addition to the river’s influence in Madison’s early growth, the state’s first railroad arrived in 1836, further stimulating the local economy. Today, that very same railroad line, now owned and operated by the City of Madison Port Authority, continues to impact the local economy with firstclass freight service between Madison and North Vernon, Indiana. It has been a long road of twists and turns for the Madison Railroad since her first day of operation in 1978, but 40 years later she’s a survivor and this — is her story.
