from that location and they needed to supply it with
limestone, for ‘scrubber stone.’ And so, we turned that
into an inbound facility instead of an outbound facility
and added conveyors and storage sites for the stone.
Now, we offload it at that location and put it in our rail,
and then railroad it to the power plant. We ship about
800,000 tons and keep 30,000 trucks off the road.
We look at that facility as a way to maybe serve other
markets where we can either go inbound or outbound
with commodities.”

the Stanley L. Reeble Dock and Industrial Park, KRPD2
is another multi-modal river, rail, and road facility for
steel, general cargo, and bulk products, connected to
the Canadian Pacific Railroad. The terminal includes a
50-ton overhead electric crane and a 30,000 square-
foot, temperature and humidity-controlled warehouse.
