'''RailAmerica, Inc.''', based in [[Jacksonville, Florida]], was a [[holding company]] of a number of [[short-line railroad]]s and regional railroads in the [[United States]] and [[Canada]].

In 2007, RailAmerica was acquired by [[Fortress Investment Group]].  Before that, it traded on the [[New York Stock Exchange]] with the [[ticker symbol]] '''RRA'''.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.corporate-ir.net/ireye/ir_site.zhtml?ticker=RRA&script=410&layout=-6&item_id=963386| title=Fortress Completes Acquisition of RailAmerica, Inc.| date=February 14, 2007| publisher=RailAmerica| access-date=October 31, 2007| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120213003252/http://www.corporate-ir.net/ireye/ir_site.zhtml?ticker=RRA&script=410&layout=-6&item_id=963386 |archive-date=February 13, 2012 }} [http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0EIN/is_/ai_n27149840 Alt URL]</ref> It was relisted in October 2009 with the ticker symbol '''RA'''.

On June 30, 2010, the company announced that it had acquired [[Atlas Railroad Construction]], a construction and maintenance company operating in the Northeast and Midwest United States, for US$24 million.<ref>{{cite journal|url=http://www.trains.com/trn/default.aspx?c=a&id=7042|title=RailAmerica buys rail construction company|journal=Trains Magazine|date=July 1, 2010|access-date=July 5, 2010}}</ref>

In April 2011, RailAmerica made its first shortline purchase in over five years by initiating a deal with [[Gulf and Ohio Railways]] to acquire three Alabama shortlines for $12.7 million.<ref>{{cite web|title=RailAmerica to Acquire Gulf and Ohio's Three Alabama Short Lines| url=http://www.progressiverailroading.com/news/article/RailAmerica-to-acquire-Gulf-and-Ohios-three-Alabama-short-lines--26280| publisher=Progressive Railroading| date=April 11, 2011}}</ref>

==Former subsidiaries==
RailAmerica controlled the following railroads. It acquired some through purchase of other holding companies: RailLink Canada in July 1999, [[RailTex]] in February 2000, [[ParkSierra]] and [[StatesRail]] in January 2002, and the rail properties of [[Alcoa]] in September 2005.

In addition to those listed below, RailAmerica's prior owner, [[Fortress Investment Group]], purchased the [[Florida East Coast Railway]] (FEC) in September 2007 from [[Florida East Coast Industries]].  Although Fortress maintained a level of common control between the two railroads, FEC was never made a formal part of the RailAmerica family, and Fortress did not include FEC in the RailAmerica spinoff.

RailAmerica was founded by Gary O. Marino and John H. Marino in 1986.
