Kennett Square, PA – June 4, 2024 – Regional Rail, LLC, a leading operator of short line
railroads, is pleased to announce a strategic planning initiative with TLD RAMP Inc. to roll out
TLD’s mobile transloading capabilities to 14 of Regional Rail’s locations, including three port
railroads: Port Manatee, FL, Port of Morehead City, NC, and Port of Indiana Burns Harbor, IN.
Background on Regional Rail, LLC: Since its establishment in 2007, Regional Rail, LLC
(“Regional Rail”) has operated and grown successful short line railroads. The company operates
15 railroads covering over 800 miles of track, transporting more than 70,000 carloads of
customer freight across Ohio, Florida, Delaware, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania,
Illinois, Indiana, and Canada. Regional Rail has become a premier solutions provider for
high-growth ports, including Port Manatee, FL, Port of Morehead City, NC, and Port of Indiana
Burns Harbor, IN. The company’s industrial customer base includes notable names like
Equistar, Cleveland Cliffs, Lowes, and Shell Chemical.
Strategic Rollout Details: The collaboration with TLD RAMP will see the implementation of
TLD’s innovative mobile transloading platforms at 14 of Regional Rail’s strategic locations. This
rollout aims to enhance supply chain efficiency for organizations delivering to major population
areas and railroads serviced by Regional Rail. The locations included in this initiative are:
● Orlando, FL
● Tampa, FL
● Raleigh, NC
● Philadelphia, PA
● New York City, NY
● Cincinnati, OH
● Chicago, IL
● Saint Louis, MO
● Newark, NJ
● Ocala, FL
● Indianapolis, IN
● Port Manatee, FL

Unlike traditional transloading, TLD’s mobile transloading platform operates without the need for
extensive brick-and-mortar infrastructure such as warehouses and docks. This significantly
reduces the capital requirements for each location, enabling a rapid and aggressive rollout.
Additionally, TLD RAMP’s operations are highly efficient, allowing for the loading and unloading
of boxcars in one-third the time when compared to traditional methods, providing significant
benefits to Regional Rail customers.
Mark Meyer, AVP of Marketing & Sales for Regional Rail, commented, “This new strategic plan
with TLD will allow us to become the instant solution to supply chain needs in the areas we
serve. This creates impactful opportunities for any major producers operating in and around
those major population centers.”
