Pioneer Railcorp has changed its name to Pioneer Lines effective immediately.

The new “Pioneer Lines” name emphasizes not only its growth as a company but its long-term vision — to provide new lines of business and connections for Pioneer’s customers, according to a news release.

The company currently owns and operates 15 railroads and provides railroad-related services such as transloading, switching and storage. The acquisition of railroads and other assets and associated industrial development is a primary focus of Pioneer Lines as it seeks to expand its presence across the United States, company officials said. 

The new name comes nearly two years after the acquisition of Pioneer Railcorp by BRX Transportation Holdings LLC. In the months following the acquisition, a new executive team comprised of rail, real estate and trade experts came together with the aim of refreshing the decades-old company.
