Grenada Railroad (GRYR), owned by Pinsly Railroad Company, operates a critical 228-mile corridor connecting Canton, MS, to Memphis, TN. The short line links to CN and offers daily interchanges and exceptional connectivity. Serving 17 customer locations, GRYR transports diverse commodities like lumber, chemicals, and paper.
Navigating a Critical Disruption
On December 19, 2023, Grenada Railroad encountered a significant operational challenge when a track deviation on a critical bridge was identified. The bridge had to be immediately removed from service, putting timely customer deliveries at risk. An immediate solution was needed to ensure no interruptions in service for the customers.
Rapid Response Secures the Service
Grenada turned to CN, for support to implement a reroute agreement quickly, enabling uninterrupted service for Grenada’s freight and storage customers. During this period, there was no interruption to local service, interchange frequency, or shipments in transit. This temporary measure was in place for 30 days until the bridge was fully repaired.
Pre-established trust, built through face-to-face meetings like CN’s short line conference, ensured effective communication and rapid execution. We welcomed the opportunity to collaborate with the GRYR to show up together for the end customers.
