In 2007, RailAmerica was acquired by Fortress Investment Group. Before that, it traded on the New York Stock Exchange with the ticker symbol '''RRA'''.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.corporate-ir.net/ireye/ir_site.zhtml?ticker=RRA&script=410&layout=-6&item_id=963386| title=Fortress Completes Acquisition of RailAmerica, Inc.| date=February 14, 2007| publisher=RailAmerica| access-date=October 31, 2007| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120213003252/http://www.corporate-ir.net/ireye/ir_site.zhtml?ticker=RRA&script=410&layout=-6&item_id=963386 |archive-date=February 13, 2012 }} [http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0EIN/is_/ai_n27149840 Alt URL]</ref> It was relisted in October 2009 with the ticker symbol '''RA'''.

On June 30, 2010, the company announced that it had acquired Atlas Railroad Construction, a construction and maintenance company operating in the Northeast and Midwest United States, for US$24 million.<ref>{{cite journal|url=http://www.trains.com/trn/default.aspx?c=a&id=7042|title=RailAmerica buys rail construction company|journal=Trains Magazine|date=July 1, 2010|access-date=July 5, 2010}}{{Dead link|date=July 2025 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

In April 2011, RailAmerica made its first shortline purchase in over five years by initiating a deal with Gulf and Ohio Railways to acquire three Alabama shortlines for $12.7 million.<ref>{{cite web|title=RailAmerica to Acquire Gulf and Ohio's Three Alabama Short Lines| url=http://www.progressiverailroading.com/news/article/RailAmerica-to-acquire-Gulf-and-Ohios-three-Alabama-short-lines--26280| publisher=Progressive Railroading| date=April 11, 2011}}</ref>

==Former subsidiaries== RailAmerica controlled the following railroads. It acquired some through purchase of other holding companies: RailLink Canada in July 1999, RailTex in February 2000, ParkSierra and StatesRail in January 2002, and the rail properties of Alcoa in September 2005.

In addition to those listed below, RailAmerica's prior owner, Fortress Investment Group, purchased the Florida East Coast Railway (FEC) in September 2007 from Florida East Coast Industries. Although Fortress maintained a level of common control between the two railroads, FEC was never made a formal part of the RailAmerica family, and Fortress did not include FEC in the RailAmerica spinoff.

RailAmerica was founded by Gary O. Marino and John H. Marino in 1986.
