Kiamichi Railroad Overview
The Kiamichi Railroad Company is a Class III short-line railroad headquartered in Hugo, Oklahoma. KRR operates two lines totaling 231 miles (372 km) which intersect in Hugo, as well as maintaining trackage rights on an additional 45 miles (72 km) of track. The main line (186 miles) runs from Hope, Arkansas (where it interchanges with Union Pacific Railroad) to Lakeside, Oklahoma, then along 20 miles of BNSF Railway trackage rights to a BNSF interchange point at Madill, Oklahoma. Along this line, KRR interchanges with Union Pacific at Durant, Oklahoma, with Kansas City Southern Railway at Ashdown, Arkansas, and with De Queen and Eastern Railroad via Texas, Oklahoma and Eastern Railroad at Valliant, Oklahoma. Additionally, it interchanges with the shortline WFEC Railroad Company at Valliant, and is the Primary Operating Railroad on that line. A 40-mile branch line runs from Antlers, Oklahoma to Paris, Texas. The line was a former main line of the Frisco railway; KRR started operations in 1987. KRR traffic generally consists of coal, lumber, paper, glass, cement, pulpwood, stone and food products. The KRR hauled around 53,000 carloads in 2008. KRR was purchased by RailAmerica, a short-line railroad holding company, in 2002. Another holding company, Genesee & Wyoming Inc., purchased RailAmerica in late 2012. As of 2023, Genesee & Wyoming's Kiamichi Railroad holds a total of 264 miles (36 in Arkansas, 199 in Oklahoma, and 30 in Texas), has a maximum capacity of 263,000 in Antlers Branch (286,000 elsewhere).
KRR interchanges with BNSF in Madill, OK, Union Pacific in Durant, OK, De Queen and Eastern Railroad in Valliant, OK, CPKC in Ashdown, AR, and Union Pacific in Hope, AR
