DCRail (DCR), legally named Devon & Cornwall Railways Limited,[1] is a British train operator. It has been active as a freight operating company since May 2011.
DCR was founded in November 2003, and was as subsidiary of the British American Railway Services (BARS). Early activities were focused on a proposed passenger service between Okehampton and Exeter St Davids; at one point this was months away from launching in May 2010, but was eventually cancelled. In May 2011, DCR commenced operating its first freight services. It has since opted to focus on the rail freight sector and develop a larger footprint. In addition to leased rolling stock, it acquired a handful of Class 56 diesel locomotives with which to run its services.
During November 2017, BARS sold DCR to the Cappagh Group. Since then, it has functioned as the rail freight operating arm of Cappagn, with its movements increasingly centred around the movement of aggregates and supporting major construction projects. To this end, additional new-build rolling stock has been acquired and a series of a new urban depots have been established in the Midlands, London, and the South East.[2]
