Watco has started operating a new transload facility in North Bergen, New Jersey, for the New York, Susquehanna and Western Railway Corp. (NYSW).

The operating agreement enables NYSW to focus on its core business while leveraging Watco's transloading expertise to enhance efficiency, Watco officials said in a news release.

The North Bergen Transload Terminal is positioned to support the lumber, bulk product, energy, agriculture and steel industries, they said. It features five storage areas and 13.8 acres dedicated to laydown storage.

"We’re excited to bring our transloading expertise to this partnership to enhance productivity and introduce new opportunities and solutions for our current and future customers,” said Marc Massoglia, Watco's senior vice president of terminal and port sales. “This prime distribution site is ideally situated to support numerous growth projects planned for the region and beyond."

North Bergen offers access to nearly all major highways in northeastern New Jersey. The terminal connects with CSX and Norfolk Southern Railway lines, and is near Interstate 95 and several key state routes.
