Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.

The Great River Railroad is a 30 mile long shortline railroad that runs from Rosedale to a connection with the Columbus and Greenville Railway in Greenville, Mississippi.

Formerly part of Illinois Central Gulf, the railroad segment was purchased by the Port of Rosedale in 1981.

The line has been embargoed since 2001. A shortline railroad is a small or mid-sized railroad company that operates over a relatively short distance relative to larger, national railroad networks.

The term is used primarily in the USA and Canada. In the United States, railroads are categorized by operating revenue, and most shortline railroads fall into the Class III or Class II categorization defined by the Surface Transportation Board.
