America’s Massive Rail Routes for Transporting Limestone – Moving Millions of Tons by Train

Across America, there are massive limestone quarries that feed some of the country’s most important industrial supply chains. From major quarry operations to busy railroad lines, millions of tons of limestone are moved by train every year. As one of America’s most important industrial materials, limestone is used for construction, road building, agriculture, and manufacturing. The quarries are the epicenter of this massive supply chain. From giant loaders and crushers to open-top hopper cars and long freight trains, the limestone moves across the country to where it is needed. In this video, we head out to some of America’s massive limestone rail routes, and talk about how millions of tons of limestone are quarried, processed, loaded, and transported by train. From the giant quarries to the railroads that carry their production, this is the journey of one of America’s most important bulk materials. #Limestone #LimestoneQuarry #Railroad #FreightTrain #RailTransport #America #Logistics #Ohio #Motana
