This terminal handles multiple commodities with room for expansion. Watco is a joint-venture partner of SCH Services, LLC, which owns and operates the Four Rivers terminal.

Multimodal Facility

The site stands out for its access to multiple Class I railroads, major waterways, and an interstate highway. This terminal primarily handles inbound coal trains from across the country, where it’s stockpiled or transferred to barge.
