History [ edit ]
The railway company was founded in 1887 by Adolphus Busch , the president of Anheuser-Busch .[1] By 1906, Busch was still president while William D. Orthwein was vice president.[2]
The company's line connected with the Terminal Railroad Association of St. Louis and the Alton and Southern Railroad in East St. Louis, Illinois . The MRS accessed the Alton and Southern Railroad using trackage rights over the Terminal Railroad Association of St. Louis via the MacArthur Bridge .[3] MRS owned railroad cars used to transport Anheuser-Busch's products. It also provided locomotive maintenance and painting services to other companies.[4]
On March 25, 2011, it was announced that Anheuser-Busch had applied to shut down the MRS, after the brewery began shipping outbound products via truck instead of rail.[5] However, on April 8, Foster Townsend Rail Logistics (reporting marks: FTRL) announced that it planned to take over operations of the line once Manufacturers Railway ceased operations.[6] On October 2, 2011, FTRL Railway began providing rail switching services at Anheuser Busch's St. Louis brewery.[7]
