Gulf & Atlantic Railways formerly known as RailUSA is an American short line railroad holding company, that owns or maintains an interest in 6 railroads in the United States. G&AR has a rail network of a 711-miles.

History

RailUSA was founded in October 2018 by private equity firm Equity Group Investments. It first purchased the Grenada Railroad from Iowa Pacific with plans to restore and re-open the 87-mile southern portion of the line thats been closed since 2011. Another investment later followed in 2019 with the purchase of Florida Gulf & Atlantic Railroad from CSX.[1][2] In April 2022, RailUSA was purchased by Macquarie Infrastructure Partners.[3]

On March 1, 2023, RailUSA announced the company would relocate to Jacksonville, Florida, and debut a new name to Gulf & Atlantic Railways to show it's focus on new growth.[4]

In May 2023, G&AR acquired 3 small railroads from Midwestern & Bluegrass Rail, the Camp Chase Railroad, Chesapeake & Indiana Railroad and Vermilion Valley Railroad, and increased its portfolio from two to five short lines.[5]

In August 2023, Macquarie Infrastructure Partners reached an agreement with the Pinsly Railroad Company to acquire Pioneer Valley Railroad through its subsidiary Gulf & Atlantic Railways.[6] Towards the end of the year, G&AR announced they would acquire the 33 mile Northern Indiana Railroad Company (NIRD); a line that CKIN leases. Later in February 2024, they announced they would seek to merge NIRD lines ownership into the Chesapeake & Indiana railroad. [7]
