Broad incumbents

• CSX Corporation: US Class I railroad serving the eastern United States with coal, agricultural, chemical, and intermodal freight. Comparable as a publicly listed, long-distance line-haul rail operator with a focus on bulk commodities and intermodal growth.
• Aurizon Holdings Limited: Australia's largest rail freight operator, focused on bulk commodities (coal, iron ore) and intermodal. Comparable as a publicly listed, heavy-haul, bulk-commodity rail franchise with similar reliance on mining customers and long-term take-or-pay contracts.
• Union Pacific Corporation: Major US Class I freight railroad operating across the western two-thirds of the United States. Comparable as a publicly listed, large-scale bulk and intermodal rail franchise with similar commercial mix (agriculture, energy, industrial products) and long-lived infrastructure asset base.
• BNSF Railway: Largest North American Class I freight railroad, owned by Berkshire Hathaway. Comparable as a benchmark for high-volume, bulk-commodity rail operations, intermodal services, and technology-led efficiency, though operating at materially larger scale and within a different regulatory environment.
• Canadian National Railway: Canadian Class I railroad moving bulk commodities (grain, iron ore, coal) and intermodal freight across North America. Comparable as a long-haul, concession-like franchise with heavy commodity exposure and a track record of operational efficiency investments.
• Norfolk Southern Corporation: US Class I railroad operating in the eastern half of the United States, with significant intermodal, agriculture, and industrial freight. Comparable as a publicly traded freight rail operator with similar customer concentration in mining, steel, and agriculture.

Emerging players

• Genesee & Wyoming Inc. Global short-line and regional rail operator (subsidiary of Brookfield Infrastructure) with operations across the Americas, Europe, and Australia. Comparable as a regional/concession-based freight rail operator providing industrial switching and short-haul services, though at smaller scale than MRS.

Direct peers

• Ferrovia Norte-Sul (FNS) / VLI-operated concessions: Brazilian federal rail concessions operated by VLI and partners, serving agricultural and industrial corridors. Comparable as a Brazilian concession rail operator with similar regulatory framework, bulk commodity focus, and intermodal terminal model to MRS's Southeast network.
• Rumo S.A. Brazil's largest rail logistics operator, listed on B3, operating the Malha Paulista, Malha Norte, and Malha Oeste concessions. Most direct competitor to MRS in Brazilian freight rail, with overlapping bulk commodity, agribusiness, and container volumes and similar take-or-pay commercial model.
• VLI (Vale Logística Integrada): Brazilian multimodal logistics operator controlled by Vale, operating rail terminals, ports, and waterways, and integrating rail with road and cabotage. Direct peer to MRS in mining-heavy freight, intermodal terminals, and Southeast Brazil logistics, including Ferrovia Centro-Atlântica (FCA) operations.
