P&L railroad looking for new headquarters
Written by jrood
Paducah & Louisville Railway is looking for incentives to build a new headquarters in downtown Paducah rather than move to one of the other cities where it does business, according to The Paducah Sun. Railroad President Tony Reck told The Sun that the company is hoping to stay in Western Kentucky, but isn't close to making a commitment to any place.
P&L, a 265-mile
regional railroad, has grown steadily in recent years by acquiring rail lines
in West Virginia, Indiana and Illinois. Reck said the company has newer
contracts with CSX Transportation to build and operate intermodal facilities in
West Baltimore, Ohio, and Winter Haven, Fla.
Paducah Mayor Bill Paxton
says the city is trying to keep the railroad, despite heavy recruiting from
places like Louisville and Florida.
