TRRA
The Terminal Railroad Association of St. Louis (TRRA) continues to play a pivotal role as a strategic partner of the St. Louis Regional Freightway, advancing infrastructure and economic development across the bi-state region. This collaboration underscores TRRA’s commitment to enhancing freight mobility and supporting regional growth. From the Merchants Bridge replacement to the Madison Yard expansion and the Illinois Transfer 3rd Main Track project, TRRA’s initiatives are not only reducing freight bottlenecks and emissions, but also creating jobs and expanding the tax base in historically disadvantaged communities. This vitally important partnership exemplifies how coordinated investment in rail infrastructure can drive long-term economic impact.

(9/10/24) - The St. Louis Regional Freightway yesterday announced it added three Illinois locations– Admiral Parkway, Forest Boulevard and Granite City Buildings and Land– to its pipeline of rail-accessible industrial real-estate sites. The additions bring the number of St. Louis Regional Freightway rail access sites to 20, spread across 16 locations, according to a press release. The new site locations are more than 1,150 acres combined. Admiral Parkway in Dupo, Illinois, is the largest and encompasses 1,000 of those acres, with rail service potential through Union Pacific Railroad. The property is located within an enterprise zone and a tax incremental financing district, and it is adjacent to Interstate 255.
