New Orleans: truck-to-rail-transload hub opened
The New Orleans Public Belt Railroad (NOPB), a US class III switching railway, will manage rail transloading services for the US liquid bulk transport specialist Heniff at the newly opened New Orleans transloading industrial park, LA (USA). The two companies recently signed an agreement to this effect.
The newly built facility is located on Terminal Road in New Orleans East and will help shippers move goods more easily between trucks and trains, making it faster to transport freight to America’s heartland, NOPB said.
Heniff’s transload network includes 44 locations in North America where the company handles approximately 20,000 rail cars per year. The company operates 2,000 tractors and 5,700 trailers. (ben)
