RailAmerica owns the Puget Sound and Pacific Railroad that serves Grays Harbor. The port's potential coal export terminal, located on a former log yard, could bring another 75 ship calls a year to Grays Harbor.<ref>[http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2015764828_apwacoalterminalhoquiam.html "Coal export terminal studied at Hoquiam"] Associated Press, Seattle Times, July 29, 2011.</ref>
In August 2011 it was announced that RailAmerica was canceling its plan for a coal storage and export facility at the port's Terminal 3. The company said they believed there are other uses for the terminal that are more likely to generate jobs, tax revenues and business for the port and for the company, said Gary Lewis. As such plans to export coal from Grays Harbor were cancelled.<ref>[http://www.thenewstribune.com/2012/08/14/2255740/rail-company-shelving-hoquiam.html#storylink=cpy "Rail company shelving coal export plans for Hoquiam port"] Associated Press, August 14, 2012.</ref>
