The Pioneer Valley Railroad, founded in 1982, is a Class III short line freight railroad operating the former Conrail (née-New York, New Haven & Hartford) trackage in the western part of Massachusetts in towns of Westfield, Holyoke, and Southampton.[1] The railroad has been owned by the Pinsly Railroad Company since its founding, with headquarters in Westfield, Massachusetts.
In August 2023, Macquarie Infrastructure Partners reached an agreement with Pinsly to acquire the railroad through its subsidiary Gulf & Atlantic Railways.
