It is one of several short-line railroads owned by Watco Companies of Pittsburg, Kansas. The company leases a {{convert|123|mi|km}} line from the Norfolk Southern running south from Grand Rapids, Michigan through Kalamazoo, Michigan to Elkhart, Indiana. The line they lease was a former Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad mainline from Grand Rapids to Kalamazoo. From Kalamazoo to Elkhart, IN they use a former Lake Shore & Michigan Southern branch. Watco Companies projects 22,000 carloads per year from 55 customers. Operations began on March 8, 2009.[1] The railroad connects with three larger railroads, the Norfolk Southern (Elkhart and Kalamazoo), CSX (Grand Rapids) and Canadian National (Kalamazoo, Michigan via CN Kilgore Yard) as well as three short line railroads, the Marquette Rail (Grand Rapids), Grand Rapids Eastern Railroad (Grand Rapids), and Michigan Southern Railroad (White Pigeon, Michigan).[2][3][4][5] References1. ^{{cite news | title=Rail line lease sought | first=Alex | last=Nixon | publisher=Kalamazoo Gazette | date=December 4, 2008 | accessdate=2008-12-05 | url=http://www.mlive.com/business/kzgazette/index.ssf?/base/business-5/1228411212159300.xml&coll=7}} 2. ^{{cite news |first=Chris |last= Wheelock|authorlink= |author2=Shandra Martinez |title= Grand Elk roars into town |work= Grand Rapids Press|publisher= |date=2009-04-20 |page=A10 }} 3. ^{{cite web | title = Marquette Rail company website | url=http://www.gwrr.com/operations/railroads/north_america/marquette_rail | accessdate=2015-04-20}} 4. ^{{cite web | title=Grand Rapids Eastern Railroad company website | url=http://www.gwrr.com/operations/railroads/north_america/grand_rapids_eastern_railroad | accessdate=2015-04-20}} 5. ^{{cite web | title=Michigan Southern Railroad Co. company website | url=http://www.pioneer-railcorp.com/mso.html | accessdate=2015-04-20}} External links{{Portal|North American railways}}
