About Albany & Eastern Railroad

Albany & Eastern Railroad (AERC), also known as the Albany-Lebanon Railroad, has connected Albany and Lebanon, Oregon, since 1880. The railroad was built primarily to support the timber and agriculture industries and became an important part of the transportation network in the Willamette Valley.

Today, AERC provides freight railroad services that help businesses move products throughout the region and connect with larger rail markets. Our services include freight hauling, reload and transload, switching, railcar services, track construction and repair, and railcar storage.

AERC can interchange with both major Class I railroads in the western United States: BNSF Railway and Union Pacific Railroad. These rail connections help customers move freight between local markets and the broader rail network.

With more than 100 years of transportation experience, AERC continues to improve its railroad infrastructure and technology to meet modern transportation needs. We are committed to providing dependable short line railroad services for businesses and communities in the Mid-Willamette Valley.
