ncir_state The Kasgro Rail Corporation builds, maintains, and manages a fleet of nearly 500 specialty railcars used for transporting oversized and/or heavy "dimensional" loads anywhere on the domestic railroad system. The 11-acre New Castle, Pennsylvania, facility constructs and repairs the fleet of standard, articulated, and depressed-center flatcars, and an office located in Indiana coordinates fleet management. The New Castle facility sits adjacent to CSX Transportation's New Castle yard along the Shenango River. Switching and fleet storage is provided by the New Castle Industrial Railroad, which provides Kasgro with interchange to CSX Transportation, Norfolk Southern, and the Buffalo & Pittsburgh.

December 2016

You cannot miss a new Kasgro car fresh out of their shop. The bright red pops on the landscape, set against all the rust browns and drab grays of a post-industrial town like New Castle. Kasgro #123600 is so new, in fact, that its wheels have that fresh coat of factory rust and that body red glistens without even a trace of road grime. You won't even find this flatcar on their official roster; I bet it has not moved more than a mile from its foundry. This flatcar is the newest example of a hundred or more KRL cars tucked away all over town, spotted and stored by the New Castle Industrial until dimensional duty calls.
