New Athens, IL: Kaskaskia River Port District #1

(Satellite)

The KRPD #1 was made possible by the lock and dam near the mouth of the Kaskaskia River.

The KRPD #1 facility was originally an outbound facility built by Peabody Coal in 1977, and it shipped 48 million tons of coal until that operation stopped in 1999. The part we see in operation in the images is a new inbound facility that can load unit trains up to 125 cars long. [KRPD1] Coal produced a few millions tons per year in the 1980s and 90s.

The port is served by the KRPD and PCCX railroads.

The KRPD ranks as the 72nd largest port in the country and its 8th largest inland port.

"7th largest inland port as measured by ton/miles and 9th largest inland port in the coutnry." [KaskaskiaPort] (That is probably the district, not just this #1 facility. Other KRPD facilities include Fayetteville Terminal, #2, Kellogg, and Grain Terminal. They also operate a marina and grill in Evansville, IL.)

It appears the satellite also caught an inbound operation.
