The Tri-City & Olympia Railroad was established in 2000 as a short line railroad offering regional rail-freight transportation and support services. We are located in south central Washington on the Columbia River System, western Washington in Olympia and Vallejo, California in the San Francisco Bay area. As an agent for the Union Pacific Railroad, we have an alliance with a major western rail system. We have created a valuable east-west rail link and a portal of opportunity for Pacific Northwest businesses to access national transportation networks.

Our strategy is to build our business on satisfied customers, meeting your transportation needs through frequent, reliable rail service at reasonable rates. Farmers in central and eastern Washington are finding we are an economical alternative for transporting produce and crops. Businesses on the west side of Washington and Northern California are using us for cost-effective access to the major shipping networks they need to for industrial products. As more and more companies discover the benefits of short line rail and regional access, our company will prosper and grow. At the same time, our progress will give us increased opportunities to contribute to new jobs and regional economic development. In the government sector we have taken on significant railroad support activities involving military equipment, nuclear waste, and construction materials. The Tri-City & Olympia Railroad has played a proud part in the defense efforts of our nation by assuring the prompt and safe rail transport of combat and supply equipment.

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), on behalf of the Homeland Security Department has enlisted the aid of the Tri-City & Olympia Railroad for the development of border rail crossing technology. Beginning in 2005 the railroad took the lead nationwide as the consultant to PNNL on rail related protection and security issues for the nearly 40 railroad border crossings. The five-year contract calls upon the Tri-City & Olympia Railroad to provide both rail support and consultation. The Department of Energy (US-DOE) has begun to rely on Tri-City & Olympia Railroad to coordinate and conduct the movement of nuclear processing plant waste to decontamination and long-term storage facilities. The Tri-City & Olympia Railroad has refabricated rail equipment to meet the special handling needs of low-level nuclear waste. That special car will be used at the Hanford Site in Washington State. That handling capability will help the US-DOE reduce costs, increase safety, and deal with large equipment clean up needs. Tri-City & Olympia Railroad has also assisted the US Navy by moving waste items for permanent burial at Hanford. Similarly, the Tri-City & Olympia Railroad has helped transport two massive generators from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Site at Hanford to Texas.
