Four Rivers Terminal
GMTX 2144 resting at Four Rivers Terminal in between trains. Four Rivers Terminal was built in 2015 by Southern Coal Handling (SCH) to transload coal from trains to barges on the Ohio River. The wye and spur sit off the Paducah and Illinois Railroad, however CN, BNSF, PAL, and UP all have access. SCH owns the bigger (and much busier) Calvert City Terminal just up the river, but FRT does not have blending capabilities like CCT does. FRT dumps trains from BNSF (Powder River Basin coal) and PAL (from Warrior in Madisonville). FRT also unloads boxcars dropped off by the BNSF local. It looks like the 2144 was moving around a bad order hopper today.
