The agreement is that SBNY trains will interchange their MS traffic at Binghamton and travel CU&T under symbol BHMS. MS trains will interchange their traffic at Hagerstown and travel via symbol HGSB.
In addition the loaded aggregate trains from MS will travel Hagerstown to Communipaw twice weekly under symbol UMA-300/301.MS will operate aggregate trains to SBNY via CU&T for interchange at Binghamton NY under symbol UMA-350/351.
CU&T, MS, and SBNY are excited to be able to provide the north east with seamless customer focused service.
CU&T is excited to announce shipments of Marcellus Region Crude are up 4.2% as the Marcellus Gas and Oil Co have expanded drilling in the region. Shipments of frac sand have nearly quadrupled causing a shortage of cars. In return the CU&T has purchased a large lot of trinity built 3281 covered hoppers to accommodate the surge in traffic. These cars are dual service capable and can be used in cement service if needed.
