Bluejay is proud to have successfully prepared a $6.9 million Federal Railroad Administration Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements (#CRISI) grant application to fund needed improvements to two bridges on Belpre Industrial Parkersburg Railroad’s (BIP) mainline in Ohio and West Virginia, including the 118-year-old historic B&O Sixth Street Railroad Bridge crossing the Ohio River. Congratulations to the Belpre Industrial Parkersburg Railroad and Cathcart Rail for this important project funding!

More exciting developments for the BIP!

Excited to announce a new multi-site carload operation that commenced this week for a new-to-rail customer and commodity: • Two (2) origin truck-to-rail transloading sites now operated by Cathcart on two (2) partner shortline railroads, where we currently perform interchange repair agent duties; • The final destination for unloading is being built on Cathcart’s Belpre Industrial Parkersburg Railroad, so we are providing the interim rail-to-truck transloading; and • A Cathcart fleet lessor customer provided the initial 120 railcars to commence this five (5) railcar per day movement, with the railcars first being prepped in Cathcart’s repair facilities. With a special thanks to Cathcart’s Class I partners as well. Here are both our origin and destination transloading operations, into the railcar and back to truck. Contact Matthew McLaughlin, MBA to learn more about Cathcart’s comprehensive rail business development capabilities.

We are excited to announce that Connie Vail, our Vice President of Rail Services, has been selected by Railway Age as a 2024 Women in Rail honoree. Congratulations to Connie and all of this year's award recipients who are helping shape the future of our industry!
