Abstract:

While relatively small in scope when compared to their national rail counterparts, short line rail operations play a signiﬁ cant

role in supporting core industries in Louisiana, namely petrochemicals and agriculture. This is not unlike other states that

also depend on short line rail operations to connect major industries to national and international markets. A number of

states have initiated state level programs to ensure the continued sustainability and viability of short line rail service. In many

respects, short line railroads can be thought of as small but necessary components of the state’s business machinery since

the primary purpose of these rail lines is to move goods and products from producers to national rail lines and vice versa. This

report addresses a number of key factors related to their overall economic impact upon the state’s economy, noting their

importance to the state’s overall transportation infrastructure and export/import process.
