Fort Wayne's plants, rail yards and I-69 corridor

In Fort Wayne and Allen County, freight moves by interstate, U.S. highway and rail. I-69 runs north-south through the county with a direct link to the Indiana Toll Road (I-80/90), and I-469 loops about 31 miles around the south, east and north sides of the city, carrying parts of US 24, US 30 and US 33. US 27 adds another route. Norfolk Southern operates its East Wayne Yard here, and the Airport District near Fort Wayne International Airport offers industrial sites with access to two interstates and a rail line.

Manufacturing carries a lot of weight here. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics counted 38,600 manufacturing jobs among the Fort Wayne metro's 241,100 nonfarm jobs in August 2026 (preliminary), about one in six, plus 46,100 in trade, transportation and utilities. Greater Fort Wayne Inc., the county's chamber and economic development group, lists distribution operations for national e-commerce, food, retail and parcel companies, including a 1.5 million-square-foot food distribution centre. Plants and distribution centres like these keep trailers, parts and equipment in outdoor yards.

The Fort Wayne Police Department's Auto Theft Unit lists stolen trailers and construction equipment among the cases it investigates. Sigma's agents can watch a yard in Fort Wayne, New Haven or along the I-69 corridor live, 24/7/365, including weekends and holidays. AI flags people and vehicles, an agent gives a live, instant talk-down through the site's speakers, and police are called with video evidence when someone won't leave. Agents can also run the gate for expected trucks and report trailer damage and parking on video.
