Manufacturers' Junction Railway (“MJ”) owns and operates over 6 miles of trackage.  The railroad was incorporated to serve the former Western Electric Hawthorne Works, a primary producer of telephones and related equipment.  Although a portion of the Hawthorne plant was converted into retail space, the majority was redeveloped into a business center, including MJ customers Phelps Dodge Copper Products, Schillinger Salt, World Distribution and an intermodal ramp.

Substantial warehouse space is available on and around the MJ, presenting many growth opportunities as companies continue to relocate into the area.  MJ also maintains a Locomotive Rehabilitation Center at the MJ shops.  MJ also provides services such as switching and storage for connecting railroads.
