Context

  • On May 2, 2024, Scott DeFife, President of the Glass Packaging Institute (GPI) contacted OnTrackNorthAmerica for help establishing strategically placed clean glass aggregation hubs around the country, in certain places where there is a lot of glass, but not a lot of end-market.
  • These facilities would be better off if they were near rail transload
  • The assumptions is that the freight system is underutilized.

Opportunity

  • GPI can work with OTNA via North American Freight Forums to help GPI identify under-utilized rail infrastructure  or property for lease that has access to rail?

Problems

  • It is difficult getting the attention of the Class One railroads
