The Pittsburgh Industrial Railroad (AAR reporting marks PIR) was a Class III short-line railroad operating about 42 miles of track over the Chartiers Branch in southwest Pennsylvania. It was owned by RailTex, which bought the line from Conrail in 1996. In 2000, after the purchase of RailTex by RailAmerica, Inc., the railroad was sold to the Ohio Central Railroad and renamed the Pittsburgh and Ohio Central Railroad.
