County Line Rail, a Texas company, has recently acquired the Sabine River & Northern, a 40-mile short line railroad in East Texas. The railroad, which dates back to 1966, connects three Class I railroads and operates a main line between Bessmay and Echo, Texas, as well as a branch between Buna and Evandale, Texas. The acquisition by County Line Rail includes Mulford Yard, a storage yard in Orange, Texas, 100 acres of developable land, and a connection to an existing storage yard in Buna.
County Line Rail CEO Ben Brosseau expressed excitement about expanding their rail footprint in East Texas and supporting the region’s economic growth. The company plans to revitalize the underutilized asset, offering rail services such as storage, transloading, cleaning, and Class I access. With upgrades meeting Class II standards, the Sabine River & Northern will help alleviate rail congestion around Beaumont.
In addition to the recent acquisition, County Line Rail operates facilities in Mont Belvieu and Silsbee, Texas, offering services including switching, railcar storage and repair, and transloading. The company aims to provide first-rate rail service on the newly acquired short line, contributing to the growth and development of the Gulf Coast region.
