1. PURPOSE OF ROUTE STUDY
1.1 To identify potential rail car off-loading locations to receive the power equipment free on-board delivering rail cars as near the Cheatham County site as possible. 1.2 To identify any civil improvements required to discharge the cargo from rail car. 1.3 Provide hauling diagrams showing the required turning radius, width & height requirements, and ground bearing loadings for transportation of the power equipment from the rail car discharge location to the Cheatham County site. 1.4 Identify any obstacles on the proposed haul routes from the rail car offloading locations to the Cheatham County site. 1.5 To determine what governing authorities will be required from governing entities for the transportation of the equipment from the rail car discharge locations to the Cheatham County site.
2. RAIL CAR DELIVERY LOCATIONS
Barnhart identified Ashland City TN as the closest rail served city to the Cheatham County site. Ashland City is served by a short line railroad owned by the RJ Corman Railroad Group. Barnhart discussed the project with Grant Chaney, Director of Commercial Development for RJ Corman. Mr. Chaney indicated his primary concern is the weight of the power equipment as the railroad has several old wood truss bridges between Nashville and Ashland City. Mr. Chaney suggested having a rail clearance submitted ASAP this will allow their engineers the opportunity to review the weights crossing these bridges and look at the clearances.
