R.J. Corman Railroad Company on Sept. 23 reported a new collaboration with National Cement Company of Alabama, Inc. (NCC of AL) for shipments to Lebanon, Tenn., where the manufacturer has opened a new location.
The inbound shipment originates in Ragland, Ala., at NCC of AL’s cement production facility and interchanges with the 145-mile Nashville & Eastern Line (NERR), one of R.J. Corman’s 19 short lines, via CSX.
