A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held on Tuesday at the Port of Mt. Vernon for a new railroad.
It was built in partnership between the Ports of Indiana and OmniTRAX.
CEO Jody Peacock says it’s a 1,200-acre port that has various companies involved in energy, agriculture, shipping, logistics, and manufacturing.
Before the ceremony, local elementary students visited the port to see the trains.
They named them “Power Paws” and “Wildcat Express” to celebrate Mount Vernon pride.
