Operations
GRR operates two non-connected lines:
- The "Granger Branch", a 24.3 mile line from an interchange with Union Pacific at Kerr, Texas through Georgetown to an interchange with Union Pacific at Granger, Texas (the line was previously owned by Missouri Pacific)
- The "Belton Branch", a 5.9 mile line from Belton, Texas to an interchange with Union Pacific at Smith, Texas (the line was previously owned by Missouri-Kansas-Texas)
Although its consists include ammonium nitrate, lumber, and grain, the major industry on the Georgetown Railroad is the large quarry of the Texas Crushed Stone Company, located west of Georgetown.

Famous quotes containing the word operations:
“You can’t have operations without screams. Pain and the knife—they’re inseparable.”
—Jean Scott Rogers. Robert Day. Mr. Blount (Frank Pettingell)
“Plot, rules, nor even poetry, are not half so great beauties in tragedy or comedy as a just imitation of nature, of character, of the passions and their operations in diversified situations.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
“It may seem strange that any road through such a wilderness should be passable, even in winter, when the snow is three or four feet deep, but at that season, wherever lumbering operations are actively carried on, teams are continually passing on the single track, and it becomes as smooth almost as a railway.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
