Genesee & Wyoming Inc.

Our 125th anniversary year may be coming to a close, but not without one more celebration! Last week, our team in Jacksonville gathered to mark this milestone and look to the future. We were honored that Joe Hinrichs, CEO of our Class I partner, CSX, and Bruce Nickle, Director of Global Supply Chain and Logistics for our Arizona Eastern Railway customer, Freeport-McMoRan, were able to join us for the event. Here's a highlight video of the day...

We are proud to announce the addition of three new railroads to our Shortline Select program. In addition to our service’s inaugural service partner, Genesee & Wyoming’s Alabama & Gulf Coast Railway (AGR), BNSF is now in partnership with Burlington Junction Railway (BJRY), Genesee & Wyoming’s Portland & Western Railway (PNWR), and TNW Corporation’s Texas Northwestern Railroad (TXNW). Shortline Select, which launched in September, allows shortline railroads to share BNSF’s enduring commitment to growth and service by providing expanded opportunities for customers to reach an even broader consumer base. The program combines the benefit of shortline customized service with BNSF’s vast network reach. We look forward to working with these shortlines to enhance our service performance together!

On Wednesday, November 13, the City of Claxton and Evans County, Georgia, along with the Claxton/Evans County Economic Development Authority, held a ribbon cutting and grand opening of their new community transload location, Evans Rail Systems, along with an industrial lead into their 200-acre industrial park, which is now rail-served by our Georgia Central Railway (GC).

For a look at where Genesee & Wyoming Inc. has been and where it's headed as it marks 125 years, check out my cover story in the current issue of Trains. Executives see a wave of carload growth coming from an industrial renaissance along many of G&W's short lines.

With our 125th anniversary soon coming to an end, today at RailTrends in NYC, we toasted all the partners - Class Is and other railroads, government, suppliers, railcar lessors, technology companies, banks, construction companies and more - that have been integral to our story. #ThankYou for all you’ve done for and with us! Let’s continue to work together in the century ahead to innovate, enhance safety and service for our collective customers, and ultimately make rail THE mode of transportation in North America.

Today, we are excited to share this video which introduces our new locomotive design scheme honoring veterans and service members, and showcases several of the many veterans who work for G&W. We have also donated to Disabled American Veterans (DAV) as another way we say thank you for your service. #VeteransDay2024 #thankyouforyourservice Film by: Jones & Co
