Gulf & Atlantic Railways rebrands as Pinsly Railroad

Gulf & Atlantic Railways LLC is rebranding as Pinsly Railroad Co.

The name change comes after the October 2023 acquisition of Pioneer Valley Railroad, Pinsly's last short line, Gulf & Atlantic officials said in a news release.

Pinsly Railroad Co. is the second-oldest short line holding company in North America and is an iconic name to use as the company runs and grows its portfolio of railroad, warehousing, transloading and trucking businesses, said Gulf & Atlantic CEO Ryan Ratledge.

"Our team is committed to continuing the admirable Pinsly track record for safety and service," he said.

Pinsly Railroad operates six short lines: the Pioneer Valley Railroad in Massachusetts; Grenada Railroad in central Mississippi; Florida Gulf & Atlantic Railroad in Florida's panhandle; and the Chesapeake and Indiana Railroad, Vermilion Valley Railroad and Camp Chase Railway in the Midwest. 

The company also owns and operates Railroad Distribution Services, which provides warehousing, storage and trucking services for nonrail served accounts via transload.
