The Puget Sound & Pacific Railroad is headquartered in Elma, Washington. The company began operations on August 30, 1997 when the line was purchased from the Burlington Northern Sante Fe Railway by the ParkSierra Railgroup. The ParkSierra Railgroup was purchased in January 2002 by RailAmerica.
The PS&P interchanges with the BNSF and the Union Pacific near Centralia, Washington. From there, the line reaches west to Grays Harbor, Washington and Northeast to Bangor, Washington, a total of nearly 80 miles.
Much of the line was originally constructed by the Puget Sound & Grays Harbor Railroad in 1890. The Northern Pacific Railway purchased this line from [[Summit, Washington] to Montesano shortly after the PS&GH started operations. The NP then completed a line from Centralia to Elma and from Montesano to Grays Harbor bringing rail service to Grays Harbor in 1892.
