The First and Last Mile Your Freight Will Travel

In the tradition of the railways of the 1820s, which were developed to connect locally produced materials to long range transportation modes, SMS Rail Lines serves companies in the Washington D.C. to Boston corridor with short line rail service out of three strategic locations. Often referred to as the “first and last mile” your freight will travel, SMS Rail Lines connect over-the-road carriers and industries at our three locations with Class I railroads and the North American freight network.

Taking Care of the Past and Looking Toward to the Future

SMS Rail Lines restores, maintains and operates many historic Baldwin diesel locomotives. It’s a labor of love to keep these rare and historic units in-service for future generations to witness. See them in action at our locations or just search “SMS Baldwin” on YouTube.
