Kennett Square short-line railroad buys Conshohocken transfer station

Short-line rail operator Regional Rail L.L.C., of Kennett Square, announced Monday its acquisition of a waste-transfer station in Conshohocken.

The station, formerly known as Conshohocken Rail, was part of Total Waste Logistics L.L.C., of Canfield, Ohio, which went bankrupt in 2009.

Now operating as Conshohocken Recycling & Rail Transfer, the station at 1060 Conshohocken Road receives construction and demolition debris by the truckload and, after removing recyclable materials, ships the debris by rail to out-of-state landfills, primarily in Ohio, said vice president and chief commercial officer Alfred Sauer.

The purchase was completed Friday for an undisclosed price, Sauer said.
