The Switching Company will provide railcar switching and track maintenance, with potential opportunities for construction and car repairs.
“Our diversity of services played a key role in establishing a relationship with SABIC,” said Ed Quinn, Chief Executive and President of R. J. Corman. “They initially reached out to our contracting services company to inquire about building additional track. We realized there was an opportunity to offer additional services and create added efficiencies for their operations. We look forward to building on our proven track record of adding value to our customers with SABIC.”
Corman will have 12 employees switching approximately 1,000 railcars each month at the plant. Switching services will include both movement of cars throughout the facility as well as to and from the interchange with CSX.
