History

The present company was incorporated in 1980 as the Keokuk Northern Real Estate Co.,[4] formed in May 1980 to purchase 4.5 miles (7.2 km) of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad yard track in Keokuk, Iowa.[5] The KJRY obtained that trackage in 1981.[1] In December 1986, the KJRY bought, from the Santa Fe Railway, 33.5 miles (53.9 km) of trackage consisting of the LaHarpe line and Warsaw line from Keokuk/Warsaw, Illinois to LaHarpe, Illinois,[1][5] formerly owned by the Toledo, Peoria and Western.[4]

Pioneer Railcorp filed with the Surface Transportation Board to acquire 66.62% of KNRECO, Inc. (the KJRY) from majority shareholder John Warfield,[6] and purchased KNRECO in March 1996.[5]

The KJRY bought 12.1 miles (19.5 km) from LaHarpe to Lomax, Illinois plus assigned trackage rights from Lomax to Fort Madison, Iowa in December 2011; and 76 miles (122 km) from the Toledo, Peoria and Western from LaHarpe to Peoria, Illinois in February 2005.[1][5]

Brookhaven Rail Partners acquired Pioneer Rail corporation on July 31, 2019.[7]
