US short line rail road now in service
Missouri Eastern Railroad (MER), a wholly owned subsidiary of Jaguar Transport Holdings, began rail operations on 1 March 2022. It owns 70 km of track located in the western portion of the St. Louis metropolitan area and has leasehold rights to 15 km of adjacent track owned by Union Pacific Railway.
MER's operations run from just west of Union, Missouri to Overland, Missouri where it interchanges with the terminal railroad of St. Louis.
The new short line railroad is located in the centre of Missouri and has access to six class I railroads, multiple interstate highways, and the Mississippi River offers further connections across USA. MER is the seventh short line railroad for Jaguar. (ben)
