TNW Logistic Services has entered a partnership with Indiana’s Perry County Port Authority (PCPA) to expand economic development opportunities in the Tell City River Port area, which is located on the Ohio River in southern Indiana.
The partnership will start by developing and enhancing the railway activity, industrial park facilities and river port operations that PCPA manages in the Tell City area. The facilities include the Hoosier Southern Railroad (HOS), Tell City River Port (TCRP), Tell City Industrial Park, and Santa Claus Industrial Park. The Hoosier Southern Railroad operates 22 miles of track that extend from Cannelton, IN, northwest through Perry and Spencer counties to the Norfolk Southern Railway connection at Lincoln City. HOS’s main line runs through the Tell City Industrial Park in Troy, IN., and a dedicated industrial lead that runs through the Santa Claus Industrial Park.
The area’s location, land availability and existing train and port operations make it ideal for a world-class transportation, operations and storage hub that connects the port to the Class 1 Norfolk Southern Railway at Lincoln City, IN. The intermodal complex creates a natural gateway to locations throughout the United States for products and materials from ports on the Ohio River, the Great Lakes and The Gulf of Mexico.
“This is a natural fit for the expertise TNW has gained while developing our rail and multi-modal logistics centers in Texas. We are eager to increase business volume, create economic development opportunities and foster strong relationships with the shippers and local communities,” said Paul Treangen, TNW CEO.
