Industrial Development

Gulf & Ohio Railways partners with economic development offices at each railroad. We communicate with local, regional and state officials to provide them information about railroad service to new and existing businesses. Tax credits and rebate programs may be available to your business.

Contact us today to learn more about doing business by rail.

We have compiled a listing for each state of available properties along or near our railroad.

When searching for a location keep in mind that transloading is an option if tracks do not run directly to your building or property. Goods can be transferred from railroad to truck to deliver to any location. We have helped many customers enjoy the benefits of rail with transloading. Give us a call or contact us for a rate to transport your goods today.

Transloading

What is transloading with railroads?

Transloading is the movement of goods by both rail and truck. Commodities are unloaded and shipped by rail to a designated site, then unloaded into a truck. Transloading has the advantage of serving a customer who does not have rail access at a more competitive price than trucking alone.

Why use transloading?

Enjoy the benefits and cost savings of rail service even if your business is not located on the railroad. In most cases a truck will deliver the goods to a transloading facility, load on to a railcar, travel to the final destination, then unload.

BNSF has a video and other tools about transloading.
