Terminal Railroad Assoc. of St. Louis

The TRRA is the largest of the 3 Terminal railroads in St. Louis, the other two being the Alton and Southern and the MRS, however, in terms of traffic handled, its the 2nd busiest. The Terminal has two yards, Wiggons and Madison, with Madison yard being the main yard. All the railroads that operate into St. Louis owns a part of the Terminal, with the Union Pacific being the Majority owner. The shop tracks, which can be seen from the overpass that crosses the northern throat of the yard can be quite colorfull, as Locomotives from UP, NS, BNSF, CSX, TRRA, ALS and Leased units can be seen on the ready tracks. TRRA was also the death place for the EMDX SD70M-2's 74-75, as the Terminal painted the units into CEFX 140-142
