The Great River Railroad (reporting mark GTR) is a 32.45-mile-long (52.22 km) shortline railroad that runs from Rosedale to a connection with the Columbus and Greenville RailwayinGreenville, Mississippi.

Formerly part of Illinois Central Gulf, the railroad segment was purchased by the Port of Rosedale in 1981. The line has been embargoed since 2001.

Bolivar County and Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad (Rock Island Rail) are planning to reopen the rail line. In August 2020, the county owned port authority and Rock Island Rail agreed to start clearing and repairing the infrastructure.^[1]
