Peru Industrial Railroad, LLC, a managed affiliate of OmniTRAX, Inc., one of the largest privately held rail service companies in North America, is purchasing the Peru Rail Line from the City of Peru, Illinois (USA). Peru Industrial Railroad will run freight service on 4.8 km of track starting immediately.
“The rail line is a natural add on for OmniTRAX and will create great freight and development opportunities for the City of Peru. When combined with the Illinois Railway, this operation will provide our customers with needed services, while delivering new jobs and economic growth to LaSalle County and beyond,” said Kevin Shuba, CEO of OmniTRAX.
Peru Industrial Railroad has a direct connection with Illinois Railway, LLC, which is also managed by OmniTRAX. Together, the two rail lines encompass 187 km of track and have interchanges with BNSF, Norfolk Southern, Canadian Pacific, Canadian National and CSX. Traffic handled includes frac sand, industrial products and other commodities.
