Rail News: Short Lines & Regionals
Later this year, Pacific Harbor Line Inc. (PHL) expects to begin serving Hugo Neu-Proler Co.'s Terminal Island recycling facility again — after a more than seven-year absence, according to the Los Angeles-area short line's February newsletter.
The scrap-metal shipper has operated the plant since 1962, but lost direct rail access when the former Brighton Beach rail yard was removed to make way for the Terminal Island Container Transfer Facility, which opened in 1997.
Hugo Neu-Proler and the Port of Los Angeles are restoring rail service to the facility as part of a major site improvement project. The parties plan to extend a switching lead to the shipper's gate, where the lead will connect with two new industry tracks.
Hugo Neu-Proler buys, processes, recycles and sells all grades of ferrous scrap, managing more than 60 percent of the scrap metal generated around Los Angeles.
The 85-mile PHL is owned and operated by Anacostia & Pacific Co. Inc., which also controls New York & Atlantic Railway Co., Louisville & Indiana Railroad Co., and Chicago SouthShore & South Bend Railroad.
