Gulf & Atlantic Railways adds US short line
The US regional and short line operator Gulf & Atlantic Railways (GAR) is acquiring the rail assets of Pinsly Railroad Company. The transaction includes the 30 km Pioneer Valley Railroad (PVRR) short line and Pinsly’s Railroad Distribution Services (RDS), a rail-served warehousing and distribution business. The purchase is subject to regulatory approval.
PVRR runs from Westfield, Massachusetts to Holyoke, Massachusetts with interline access to two railroads – CSX and Pan Am Southern. RDS operates two rail-served warehouses with over 13,000 sqm of indoor storage and 14.200 sqm of outdoor storage.
GAR currently owns and operates five regional and short line railroads serving six states. It already acquired three short-line railroads in Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. (ben)
