| Title: |
Johnson County Industrial Rwy |
| Description: |
Johnson County Industrial back in the GE days. There was something right behind me that precluded a better shot, but don't remember what. JCI isn’t a common carrier, but rather a contract carrier. What’s the difference? A contract carrier hasn’t filed with STB to obtain common carrier authority over their track. Otherwise, they are effectively a shortline, even soliciting their own traffic and serving multiple industries. The STB considers them an industrial operation, but to the FRA they are a full-fledged railroad that has to meet all safety and reporting requirements. |
