gtra_state The Golden Triangle Triangle Railroad is a 16 mile shortline connecting Trinity, Mississippi paper mill operations with mainline connections in and around Columbus, Mississippi. The line was completed in 1982, and interchanges with Kansas City Southern (KCS) at Columbus, Mississippi, and with BNSF and Norfolk Southern (via the Alabama Gulf Coast Railroad) via trackage rights over the KCS. Previously owned by the Weyerhaeuser Company, Golden Triangle is now a part of the Patriot Rail shortline system. Traffic is paper-mill related products and chemicals.
