Since 1911, MET Railroad has been moving freight through Central California with the service only a dedicated short-line can provide. We operate 50 miles of track throughout the Beard Industrial District, connecting you directly to Union Pacific and BNSF Railway. You’re working with a team that knows every siding and has the authority to solve problems fast.
Direct connection to Union Pacific and BNSF with the flexibility and attention that short-line service provides.
Track configuration, non-standard moves, and operational support designed around the ways your business actually works.
Short-line rail connections throughout the district and a dedicated transload facility create flexible options for rail-to-truck transfer.
MET Railroad operates within a single 2,000-acre industrial district, which gives us something larger carriers can’t offer: the ability to customize rail service to your specific needs. Need a railcar spotted at a specific time? A non-standard move coordinated? We make it happen, drama-free.
Through daily interchange with both Union Pacific and BNSF, MET Railroad provides seamless access to every major market in the continental United States, Canada, and Mexico—while saving you the complexity of navigating Class I protocols on your own.
MET Railroad handles the complexity of Class I interchange while giving you the responsiveness of a railroad that answers to one team, serves one district, and measures success by long-term partnerships—not quarterly carload reports. Decisions are made quickly. Service is delivered consistently.

Our five-mile main line connects to an additional 50 miles of track throughout the Beard Industrial District. That footprint allows us to deliver proximity, customization, and service speed that continental railroads simply can’t match.
More than a century of operation means institutional knowledge, long-term thinking, and partnerships built to last. We’re not managing assets for distant shareholders—we’re operating a railroad our family has been invested in for generations.
As a sister company to Beard Land & Improvement Company, MET Railroad operates as part of California’s most strategically integrated industrial platform. When land, infrastructure, and logistics work together, friction disappears.
