THE Ports of Indiana-Burns Harbor has dedicated US$25 million to infrastructure upgrades, including two new railyards and the port's first all-new dock in two decades, reports New York's FreightWaves.
'Today marks a historic day for this region, our workers and this port,' said Ports of indiana CEO Jody Peacock.
This new dock will provide critical global connections for Indiana companies and farmers as well as important jobs for local workers. But the best part is, this new dock is just the beginning of our major growth plans for this port, and there is much more development to come.'
The investment adds switching and storage capacity for 250 railcars at the Lake Michigan hub. Contract rail operator Regional Rail, LLC, operating as the Burns Harbor Railroad, handled more than 10,000 carloads in 2023 including steel products, scrap metals, chemicals and minerals, Ms Peacock said.
It connects to the national rail network via Norfolk Southern.
