It has only one main line, running west from the Tallyrand Marine Terminal on the St Johns River to an interchange with CSX and Norfolk Southern northeast of downtown Jacksonville, Florida. Formerly known as the Talleyrand Terminal Railroad. Operations began on July 28, 1996, under that name.[1] On March 8, 2017, Watco bought the railroad and renamed it the Jacksonville Port Terminal Railroad.[2]
