Norfolk Southern Railway Co announced the opening of a new Thoroughbred Bulk Transfer (TBT) terminal in Greer SC. Transplastics, a division of Quality Carriers Inc and a major provider of dry and liquid bulk transportation services in North America, will operate the terminal.
TBT facilities handle transfer of bulk products, such as plastic pellets, dry and liquid chemicals, construction materials, and food products from one mode of transportation to another. Transplastics will be increasing the number of TBTs it operates for Norfolk Southern from three to four.
The new Greer TBT terminal has 50 car spots with separate tracks for food products and can handle both dry and liquid bulk products. This facility features paving, security, full fencing, steam boiler for product heating, lighting, and 24-hour access and truck scales. All TBT terminals are open facilities and provide access to any qualified motor carrier.
Located at 1813 Hood Road in Greer, the terminal has convenient access to Interstate 85.
