For over two decades, we've been more than a short-line railway. We're a trusted partner to the businesses and communities that call the Chicago metropolitan westward corridor home — delivering reliability, integrity, and a personal touch that big carriers can't match.
Burlington Junction Railway operates from the heart of Montgomery, Illinois — strategically positioned along a corridor that has long served as a vital artery for regional commerce. What began as a local switching operation has grown into a full-service short-line railroad that shippers and communities rely on with confidence.
We believe that rail service should feel personal. When you work with us, you're not a account number — you're a neighbor. Our team knows your business, understands your timeline, and takes genuine pride in every car we move, every switch we make, and every relationship we build.
From daily switching to long-haul intermodal connections, our services are designed to keep your supply chain moving efficiently and affordably.
Precise, efficient switching operations at our Montgomery terminal. We handle car placement, yard management, and facility connections with the attention to detail your cargo deserves.
Reliable line-haul freight movement connecting your origin and destination points. We coordinate seamlessly with Class I railroads to ensure your shipments reach their final destination on schedule.
Bridging rail and road with efficient intermodal terminal services. We facilitate smooth transfers between container on flatcar operations and local trucking networks.
Every business has unique rail requirements. We design tailored logistics plans — from spur track agreements to dedicated service schedules — that fit your operational rhythm.
We invest in the communities we serve — from economic development initiatives to public safety programs — because a strong railway is a strong community asset.
Our maintenance crew keeps tracks, ties, and terminal equipment in top condition — ensuring safe, uninterrupted service throughout every season.
When you call us, you reach someone who knows your shipment by name. No scripted responses — just real people solving real problems.
Big carriers run on their timetable. We adapt to yours — whether that means early-morning switches or weekend moves.
Decades of operating in this region means we understand the terrain, the regulations, and the best routes — saving time and money on every haul.
Transparent pricing that respects your bottom line. We believe in fair deals built on long-term relationships, not one-time transactions.
Our safety record reflects our commitment to every employee, every piece of cargo, and every community along our right-of-way.
Based in Montgomery at the intersection of major rail corridors, Burlington Junction Railway provides service throughout DuPage County and the greater Illinois region, with connections to national rail networks.
Switching to Burlington Junction was one of the best logistics decisions we've made. They respond faster, care more, and their rates kept our shipping costs predictable in a way our previous carrier never did.
Whether you're exploring rail as an option or ready to schedule your next move, we'd love to hear from you. Reach out — we're right here in Montgomery.
