The Denver Rock Island Railroad (DRIR) is a privately owned shortline railroad established in 1993, operating three separate terminal switching yards: North Washington Park, Stockyards, and Airlawn. The railroad provides services five days a week, facilitating the interchange of railcars with both the Union Pacific and Burlington Northern railroads while offering various transloading opportunities.

Committed to environmental efficiency, the DRIR emphasizes the fuel efficiency of freight rail, with trains moving one ton of freight an average of 457 miles on just one gallon of fuel—significantly outperforming trucks. This operational efficiency not only reduces highway gridlock but also highlights the cost-effectiveness of rail transport compared to trucking.
