Since its initial start-up in the mid-eighties, NERR has worked collaboratively with the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) and the Nashville and Eastern Railroad Authority (NERA) to invest $43.5 million into essential rail infrastructure improvements. Over the years, 110 miles of active track has been reconstructed and 77 bridges upgraded. Today, NERR plays a vital economic role in central Tennessee by providing essential freight service to its industrial and commercial customers, from Nashville to Algood, Tennessee.
