Transportation Company - Jacksonville Port Terminal - Railroad



Company History: The TTR operates ten miles of line from connections with Norfolk Southern and CSX at Springfield Yard in greater Jacksonville, Florida to the Talleyrand Marine Terminal on the St. Johns River, 21 miles upstream from the Atlantic Ocean. The company was established by the Rail Link shortline group in 1996 and joined the Genesee & Wyoming shortline group later that year. Intermodal containers, molasses, vegetable oil, and automobiles make up much of the traffic. In 2017, Genesee & Wyoming sold this line to the Watco shortline group who changed the name to Jacksonville Port Terminal Railroad.
Successor/Parent History:
The Watco shortline group is known for painting locomotives in special schemes for universities and even high schools along their lines. We own or operate over 5,500 miles of short line track in North America and Australia. Our vast network connects to all Class I railroads. You get the most efficient, cost-effective route for your shipment.

Using your locomotives or our own, Watco provides switching services at your manufacturing facility. Our experienced teams improve safety, reduce risks, and minimize costs.

Let Watco take care of your inactive railcars, so you can stay focused on your active fleet. Safely house empty or loaded railcars across our nationwide network of short line railroads and terminals.

Our proactive management, in-transit tracking, and real-time communication let you know where your cars are every minute of every day. And, our scheduled maintenance programs keep your rolling stock rolling.
