The Merger
Seminole & Out Back Railroad
Mr. Richard Fox, President and CEO of Out Back Rail Road, and Mr. Jack Davis, President and CEO of Seminole Rail
Road, announced today the merger of the two lines. "We have the passenger service and are doing quite well. What we
needed was to expand our freight service. We are carrying some freight, but did not have the capacity to meet our
cusomers demands nor to acquire new business. With this merger, we can now expand both our passenger and freight
services," said Mr. Fox. Mr. Davis added, "Seminole has had a great freight business and with the growth in Rainbow
County we saw an opportunity to grow with the times. We also have a big need for passenger service and have leased
coaches from Out Back to meet our needs. With this merger, both lines and the community will prosper with better,
faster delilvery of goods and passengers."
