Goderich - Exeter Railway (GEXR)

Overview

GEXR began operation in April of 1992, when Goderich-Exeter Railway Co. Ltd., a subsidiary of Railtex based in San Antonio, Texas, purchased the line from Canadian National Railway Company. The line was approximately 75 miles long in Ontario, running from Stratford to Goderich and Clinton to Centralia.

In November of 1998, GEXR leased the Guelph Subdivision from CN Rail for a period of twenty years to end on the 15th day of November 2018. This line runs from Silver (Georgetwon, Ontario) to London, a distance of 90 miles, with approximately 17 miles of spur lines. GEXR also has “Running Rights” from Silver to Mac Yard and from MP 118.78 in to CN’s London Yard.

RailAmerica took control with the purchase of Railtex and its subsidiaries in June of 2000. From the start-up of this property in 1998 to 2001, the GEXR averaged 19,000 to 20,000 carloads annually. Year 2004 actual carloads were 28,806.
