New shortline railroad approved


The US surface transportation board (STB) has granted Savage Tooele Railroad (STR) the authority to build and operate 18 km of rail line in Tooele County UT, including the rehabilitation of existing track.

 

The shortline railroad will connect to Union Pacific Railroad for tenants of the Lakeview Business Park in Grantsville UT, linking supply chains and providing a more sustainable option as an alternative to truck-only transport.

 

STR is one of the few new railroads approved in the USA this year and one of the first railroads owned and operated by a Utah-headquartered company in the state’s history. The privately-held company was established in 1946. (ben)
