Trinity Rail to create 263 jobs, invest $60 million in Butler County

Trinity Rail Maintenance Services, Inc. recently announced plans to invest approximately $60 million in a new facility at Butler Logistics Park near Shell Rock and create at least 263 new full-time or career positions in the next three years. The Iowa Economic Development Authority board recently approved the company's plans to expand in Butler County by constructing a 230-acre railcar maintenance, retro-fitting and re-manufacturing facility.

Trinity Rail Maintenance Services (TRMS), a division of TrinityRail, performs comprehensive railcar services, including railcar repairs, maintenance, modification and complete railcar manufacturing rebuilds and retrofitting.

“TrinityRail Maintenance Services is extremely pleased to announce the construction of what we expect will be North America’s premier railcar maintenance facility in Butler County near Shell Rock, Iowa,” said Neil J. West, President of TRMS. “We have worked closely with Iowa EDA and Butler-Grundy Development Alliance officials, and they have been outstanding in our site selection process.”

Shell Rock was one of 10 sites originally considered, and in the final three, outshined Illinois and Nebraska options as the ideal location.
