Freestate Logistic Services

Company History: FLS was established in 2006 as a subsidiary of the Canton Railroad to switch the Principio Business Park in Perryville, Maryland. The line is switched with a single SW1500 and two employees. Traffic includes grain, fuel, lumber, shingles, soap, tractors and warehouse supplies.

Successor/Parent History: The CTN opened in 1907 to serve the port areas of western Baltimore, Maryland. The company was established by the property developer after failing to interest PRR or B&O in the project. The railroad fell into receivership in 1984 after some hanky-panky with their finances. In 1987, the State Of Maryland bought the Canton Railroad at auction and operates it today as a for-profit company. The line has 23 miles of track, 6 of which is the mainline. The spiffy black and yellow paint scheme is based on the Maryland state flag. This has recently been replaced with a depiction of the Baltimore skyline while retaining the state flag colors
