Marquette Rail Overview

Marquette Rail is a Class III rail carrier that began operations in 2005 with the purchase of 130 miles of former PM trackage from CSX Transportation. The track operated by MQT consists of the former CSX Baldwin, Ludington and Manistee subdivisions. The railroad is headquartered in Ludington and its main mechanical shop is located in Manistee.

Marquette Rail was acquired by RailAmerica in 2012. That same year in December, RailAmerica would be acquired by Genessee & Wyoming. MQT remains a subsidiary of Genessee & Wyoming.

MQT interchanges all rail traffic with CSX and Grand Elk (via CSX) in Grand Rapids.
