Album Info: | Acquired by RailAmerica in 2011, the Wiregrass Central Railroad ( WGCR ) operates 20 miles of track west from Waterford, Al. to Enterprise, Al. The WGCR connects with CSXT at Waterford & handles approximately 8,200 carloads per year. Major commodities that travel over the WGCR include poultry feed ingredients, peanut products & seed. Its direct connection to a Class 1 carrier allows the WGCR to link local communities in Alabama to the national network as well as the economic benefits that flow from that network. |
