Regional and short-line members of the caucus include the Arkansas & Missouri Railroad; Brownsville & Rio Grande International Railroad; Fort Worth & Western Railroad; Iowa Interstate Railroad Ltd.; Northern Lines; OmniTRAX Inc.; Patriot Rail Corp.; Portland & Western Railroad; RailAmerica Inc.; Red River Valley & Western Railroad; R.J.
