The Missouri Eastern Railroad (reporting mark MER) is a Class III short-line freight railroad in Missouri that began operations on March 1, 2022 as a subsidiary of Jaguar Transport Holdings. It operates roughly 53–60 miles of former Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad line in the St. Louis metropolitan area, running from near Union through Vigus to Overland, where it interchanges with the Terminal Railroad Association of St. Louis. MER’s trackage includes rights over Union Pacific-owned sections and combines purchased and leased segments of the historic route. The railroad serves a diversified group of customers—such as producers of plastics, paper products, fly ash, building materials, and food products—and offers car storage, repair, and transload services. Its strategic location near multiple Class I connections, major highways, and the Mississippi River provides significant freight access for shippers and supports regional commercial and industrial development
