Seaford, DE (February 19, 2020) – Delmarva Central Railroad Company (DCR) recently delivered the first railcar of liquid feed ingredients for Novus International, Inc. to the newly-opened Seaford Transload Terminal. A roadway was built adjacent to an existing rail siding in the facility to allow direct railcar-to-truck transloading of liquid ingredients. Railcars are loaded in Texas and are spotted at the Seaford Transload upon arrival. This system gives Novus semi-trucks 24/7/365 access for transloading activities inside the secure, lighted facility.
“We are excited to have secured our first customer at the new Seaford Transload Terminal,” said DCR president Mark Rosner. “We look forward to serving Novus International as a customer, and I am pleased with our team’s efforts to research this market, invest in the Seaford facility, and develop this business.”
DCR provides daily rail service and a direct connection via Norfolk Southern to the broader north American rail network. Novus International is a global leader in providing science-driven health and nutrition solutions to the animal agriculture industry.
