Built on the dreams of five men a century ago, it grew from a tenuous steel filament across hostile plains into one of the largest privately owned rail transportation companies in the world. The SPR is 13,600 miles of rail line connecting the mouth of the Columbia River in the Pacific NW to the mouth of the Mississippi River on the Gulf of America. It is, however, more than a railroad. It is a diversified transportation and land development company with holdings in petrochemical pipelines and telecommuications.
