From 1978 to 1982, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) in northern Tishomingo County began construction of the Yellow Creek Nuclear Plant .

After the construction of the power plant and the construction of a rocket test facility for NASA failed in 1988, the site was converted into the Tri-State Commerce Park.
The Tishomingo Railroad was founded in 1999 to operate the state-owned route into the Tri-State Commerce Park industrial estate, a former NASA rocket engine manufacturing facility, from May 15, 2000 . On April 1, 2006, the Indiana Boxcar Corporation (INBC) and Vintage Locomotives acquired the company equally.
On August 1, 2009, the Mississippi Central Railroad (MSCI) took over operations on the route. All fixed assets were sold to the MSCI.
