OmniTRAX may not be OmniPRESENT, but it has made a good start in North America, where it is one of the largest private operators of short-line freight railroads. The company operates some 15 short-line railroads in the US and Canada, as well as related businesses such as locomotive maintenance, intermodal terminal services (including transloading, the transfer of cargo from one mode of transportation to another, such as between a railcar and a truck), and in-plant switching. In addition, OmniTRAX operates the Port of Churchill in the Canadian province of Manitoba. Denver real estate investor Pat Broe formed OmniTRAX in 1993 as a unit of The Broe Companies, which he controls, to manage its rail operations.
