Short Line Railroads: Keeping Texas on Track
The Texas Short line & Regional Railroad Association
The TSLRRA serves as the unified voice of Texas short line and regional railroads, advocating for a safer, stronger, and more connected freight transportation network across the state. Representing more than 40 railroads and industry partners, TSLRRA supports economic growth, legislative advocacy, industry collaboration, and the critical rail connections that keep Texas businesses and communities moving forward.
The Backbone of Texas Freight Transport
Short line railroads are a critical part of the national freight network, providing first- and last-mile service for thousands of businesses and connecting rural communities to domestic and global markets. By moving freight efficiently and sustainably, short lines help reduce highway congestion, improve safety, support local jobs, and strengthen regional economies across Texas and the United States.
