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:

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.
