The Reading & Northern Railroad announced yesterday that it delivered the the first rail cars to IRIS USA Inc., the regional's newest customer in the Humboldt Industrial Park in Hazleton, Pennsylvania.
The industrial park is the Japan-based plastics producer's first location on the U.S. East Coast. The railroad helped IRIS locate at the site starting in March 2017, Reading & Northern officials said in a press release.
"An important element of the final site section was [our] ability to build the necessary railroad track infrastructure on time and on budget," they said. "Reading & Northern also offers a dedicated customer service group and provides a scheduled delivery service within a two-hour service window."
