Railroaders at Work

"There are people in town who don't even know we're here," says Berkley, president of the New Castle Industrial Railroad. Yet it's very likely that residents of this city in western Pennsylvania have heard the train whistles blow each day and have seen these locomotives pull and push freight cars through the heavy industrial corridor. The railroad employs nine and owns three locomotives that haul freight to 16 customers along the short line. New Castle Industrial Railroad owns 11 miles of the 16-mile track, and its hub is inside Elwood Quality Steel's sprawling complex just off of Moravia Road.
