The Fulton County Railroad (reporting mark FC) is a privately held short-line railroad that runs from Rochester to Argos, Indiana, where it connects with the Norfolk Southern Railway. It is a switching railroad that originally provided service to only one customer, Wilson Fertilizer and Grain in Rochester, and operates approximately 13 miles of track.

Since February 24, 2011, freight on FC infrastructure is handled by Elkhart and Western Railroad through Trackage rights. In addition to the original customer, it now also serves a scrap yard and occasional other customers.[1]
