Watco to Operate Sandusky, Ohio Terminal

Watco Transloading has established a license agreement with Norfolk Southern Corporation (NS) to operate the newly established Norfolk Southern TBT Terminal (Thoroughbred Bulk Terminal) located in Sandusky, Ohio.

The Ohio terminal is situated between Toledo and Cleveland along the banks of Lake Erie. The NS is leveraging the existing infrastructure of the former Triple Crown Services facility to allow Watco and NS to drive new incremental transload business, and further establish the Watco/NS TBT Terminal presence in the Ohio Region.

The newly acquired operations at the Sandusky Terminal will add to the growing list of Watco operated TBT Terminals in the Ohio Region. Watco currently operates three other existing TBT Terminals in the greater Ohio Region: Columbus, Ohio; Euclid, Ohio; and Willis, Michigan.

Thirty fully paved railcar spots have been allocated for Watco’s use at the terminal with laydown space available for ongoing storage of customer related products. There is ample room for expansion at the site should business levels warrant the need to increase operations. Watco will begin transload operations at Sandusky in July 2016. Watco Vice President Marketing & Sales, Marc Massoglia said:

“We are very excited to begin operations in Sandusky, and are extremely grateful for having been given the opportunity to expand our presence in the NS TBT Network.”

Watco will be focused on transloading a number of different commodities, including but not limited to the following: chemicals, plastics, forest products, steel products, and various agricultural related products.

Watco Marketing Manager, Ryan Krull said: “Our growing presence in the Ohio Region enables Watco the ability to expand on our existing customer relationships, as well as establish new lasting relationships with the surrounding communities.”
