CSX has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Pan Am Railways, a US-based regional railroad system.

The financial details of the agreement were not disclosed.

Headquartered in Massachusetts, Pan Am owns and operates a nearly 1,200-mile railway network in the New England region. The company also has a stake in the 600-mile Pan Am Southern system.

According to its website, Pan Am’s connections comprises all four eastern Class I systems (CN, CP, CSX, NS), along with around 20 regional and short line railroads.

The acquisition will add the states of Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine to CSX’s network, as well as further bolster its footprint in Connecticut, New York and Massachusetts.

CSX president and CEO James M Foote said: “In Pan Am, CSX gains a strong regional rail network in one of the most densely populated markets in the US, creating new efficiencies and market opportunities for customers as we continue to grow.
