May 8, 2020 – The late afternoon sunlight rakes across the shop area at MG Rail (MGRI) as locomotives 2002, 2001 and 700 sit next to their engine house in Jeffersonville, Indiana. I had never heard of this shortline, but thankfully good friend Ryan Scott of SteelRails has and navigated us to MG’s yard just before crews took two of the engines out of the yard with loaded hoppers for interchange work.
The shortline is owned and operated by Consolidated Grain and Barge (CG&B). It operates within the Clark Maritime Center, near Jeffersonville, Indiana. MGRI switches out several industries within the Maritime center and stages them at connections to CSX and Louisville & Indiana.
