Welcome to the DM&E and IC&E Railroad’s Industrial and Economic Development site.

 

Industrial & Economic Development Site

 

The DM&E and IC&E railroads operate in eight states providing service from Wyoming to Chicago and from the Twin Cities to Kansas City.  We are the largest Class II rail system and together comprise the eighth largest railroad system in the country.  We are the only regional railroad in the United States with direct rail connections with every major Class I railroad and access to several rail-to-river terminals on the Mississippi River in Iowa and Minnesota.

 

We can provide up-to-date, accurate information on available land, buildings and transload facilities throughout our railroad system.  Our industrial and economic development and marketing staff is available to work with you on track construction specifications and additional services related to business development.  Site location assistance is part of the DM&E and IC&E Railroad’s fully integrated transportation service program.

 

Please let us know whenever we can be of assistance to you.  Generally, economic development is dependent on good infrastructure.  Rail service is critical to economic and industrial development and vitality.  We look for opportunities to provide a low cost transportation option, often saving businesses money.  Please also let us know whenever you're working with others who may have questions or a need for rail service.  We pride ourselves on good customer service and want to be accessible to you and shippers throughout our service area.

 

As we serve hundreds of customers in hundreds of communities throughout the upper Midwest, we often have the opportunity to promote communities and states along our line to our existing customers in terms of new business development and expansion prospects.  We look forward to working on development projects in your community and state.

 

Thanks for the opportunity to handle your business.  We look forward to working with you to develop your business and your community, increase our business and prosper together.
