US short line railroad to handle turbine parts
The New England Central Railroad (NECR) has leased a 20,230 sqm parcel under its control to the Connecticut port authority to handle wind turbine components through the American Port of New London, which at this time does not require rail service. In return, the port authority facilitates rail access for future port business requiring rail transportation.
“This agreement builds on the completed upgrades to the NECR main line through Connecticut. With the pending completion of upgrades to the line in Massachusetts as well, the railroad will be able to handle modern, fully loaded freight cars from the Port of New London to the Canadian border, and from there throughout North America,” said NECR, a subsidiary of G&W.
