In General
On April 1, 1992, Pioneer Railcorp purchased the common stock of the Natchez Trace
Railroad from Kyle Railways, Inc. The railroad runs from Oxford, Mississippi to Grand
Junction, Tennessee, a total of 51 miles, 45.5 of which are located in Mississippi. The
railroad interchanges with the Norfolk Southern Railway (NS) at Grand Junction, Tennessee
and the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) at Holly Springs, Mississippi. The Company
changed the name of this wholly-owned subsidiary to Mississippi Central Railroad Co.
(MSCI) in January 1993. The traffic base on the MSCI is primarily outbound finished wood
products and inbound products, such as resins, chemicals and pulpwood, for the production
of finished wood products. Other products shipped on the MSCI include scrap steel,
cottonseed, fertilizer, and plastics. Profile
