Georgetown Railroad Company GRR

Nature of Firm:
This company operates freight service from a connection with the UP at Kerr, Texas to a connection with the UP at Granger, TX, 24.3 miles. A second line runs from a connection on the Union Pacific at Smith to Belton, TX, 5.9 miles. Rail is 90-136 pound and the load limit is 300,000 pounds.

Traffic is primarily crushed stone; however, ammonium nitrate, lumber and grain in season are also carried - about 30,000-40,000 cars per year. Georgetown Railroad also does car storage for Union Pacific.

The railroad was incorporated July 25, 1958 to acquire the MP's Georgetown branch which was being abandoned. The company won ICC approval to begin operations as of January 14, 1959. The Belton line was acquired from the Belton Railroad March 28, 1991. That line was a former Missouri-Kansas-Texas branch line sold to the Belton Railroad in 1961.
