History

The line, which was targeted for abandonment by its previous owners in 2011, supports 11,174 jobs, $1.3 billion in gross product and $1 billion in personal income, according to a study commissioned by the Mississippi Development Authority and the Mississippi Department of Transportation. The State of Mississippi leased the line to Gulf & Atlantic Railways, LLC in August 2018.

In September 2021, Grenada completed a multi-year rehabilitation project to upgrade the entire track to Class III (40 MPH) operating standards and a 286,000 lbs. gross weight on rail (GWR) capacity. The project was supported with a $7.54 million Infrastructure for Rebuilding America (“INFRA”) Grant, a $4 Million loan from the state of Mississippi, a $6.22M Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvement (“CRISI”) Grant, along with Gulf & Atlantic Railways, LLC investing the required matching funds and incremental capital.

Safety is of course the most important part of any rail operation and we pride ourselves on setting the standard for safety and performance.
