The Iowa Rail Toolkit was created to provide new freight rail users and economic development professionals with a basic introduction to rail freight shipping concepts, practices and access. Resources are included to help make shipping by rail in Iowa easier and more understandable. A directory of Iowa railroad companies is included listing contact information and a basic profile of each network.
The previous Iowa DOT’s Rail Toolkit is available by contacting the DOT Rail Office. Additionally, the Iowa DOT Rail Team will meet regularly with stakeholders and seek input regarding the current content.
