RailTex
In October 1999, RailAmerica announced that it would acquire RailTex,
North America's largest short line freight railroad company. Completed
on February 4, 2000, the $325 million acquisition marked a new era
in the history of the global short line and regional railroad industry.
Upon closing of the RailTex acquisition, RailAmerica became the
largest operator of short line and regional freight railroads in
the world, with 39 short line and regional railroads operating approximately
11,000 total track miles in the United States, Canada, Australia
and the Republic of Chile. (source RailAmerica)
