    Anymore it seems your local shortline is part of a larger company. So, with that in mind, here are links to the following:

    Rail America

    Watco

    Genesee & Wyoming

    Pioneer Railcorp

    Omnitrax

    If I missed any, please let me know.

    Enjoy!

    On second thought........the websites I linked to are the firms that own a great deal of shortlines, not all the individual lines- that would be too much work :eek:

    But yes, I do agree we have a lot of links to shortlines right here on TB.

    The site I've found that has the most short line RR links:

    http://www.aslrra.org/

    The American Short Line RR Assn. Click on "Who We Serve", and then search for a specific company. You will also find that there are links to (ASLRRA member) support industry firms.

    :D

    Thats where I check once a month when I update the TrainBoard Link page. We have a few that they don't have.

    It's good you DO check monthly, Jim- the way the shortline scene changes so much with new lines starting up & others shutting down, it's tough to keep up.

    While it's not the big conglomerate website...it's about a Rail America operation.
