WIREGRASS CENTRAL RAILROAD (WGCR)

Acquired by RailAmerica in April 2011, the Wiregrass Central Railroad (WGCR) operates 20 miles of track west from Waterford, AL to Enterprise, AL.

The WGCR connects with CSX at Waterford and handles approximately 8,200 carloads per year. Major commodities that travel over the WGCR include poultry feed ingredients, peanut products and seed.

Its direct connection to a Class I carrier allows the WGCR to link local communities in Alabama to the national railroad network as well as the economic benefits that flow from that network.
