The Grenada Railway (reporting mark GRYR) is a 187-mile long (301 km) shortline railroad that run from Southaven, Mississippi to Canton, Mississippi, along former Illinois Central Railroad trackage. GRYR interchanges with the Canadian National Railway. The main commodities the railroad hauls include forestry products, scrap metal, and grain. ==History== The line was part of Illinois Central Railroad's "Grenada District" and was mostly used by its premier passenger trains the ''City of New Orleans'' and the ''Panama Limited'' at speeds up to 100 miles per hour. The line had many hills and curves, making it unsuitable for long freight trains, which mainly used Illinois Central's "Yazoo District" several miles to the west, through the flat Mississippi Delta. On September 10, 1995 Amtrak's ''City of New Orleans'' operated over the Grenada District for the last time. A few years later in 1998, Canadian National bought the Illinois Central Railroad and diverted more traffic over to the Yazoo District.
