Dec. 12, 2019 (Milton, DE) — Delmarva Central Railroad Company (DCR) delivered the first railcar of lumber to a new Wyoming Millwork Co. facility in late October. Wyoming Millwork recently completed construction and opened a new rail served building products distribution facility in Milton, DE. DCR provides daily rail service and a direct connection via Norfolk Southern to the broader north American rail network.
The newly-constructed multi-car railroad siding allows Wyoming Millwork to source construction materials from across the US and Canada at competitive rates. Wyoming Millwork is working to allow other companies to use their new state-of-the-art terminal and warehousing operations to source their materials via rail.
