Happy #EarthDay! Our founder protected a 65-acre area & 1.28 miles of Jessamine Creek on our farm in 2011, creating a haven for many species! This area of the RJC farm is also a vibrant community hub for events & fundraisers! #conservation #community

We were honored to host STB members on a visit to our Central Kentucky Lines, a decades-long partnership with @CSX They joined RJC officials on a yard tour to later visit our HQ. We thank the STB for this visit and CSX for our partnership! ow.ly/NgkV50NHu0a

We are honored by the adoption of Resolution 236 at the KY State Senate, celebrating our founder Rick and congratulating us on our 50th anniversary. It was sponsored by Senator Donald Douglas and recognized by Senators Amanda Mays Bledsoe and John Schickel ow.ly/VrF750NCLWB

We are excited to announce that we have entered into a definitive agreement with Norfolk Southern to purchase our 19th railroad. The newly created Raleigh and Fayetteville Railroad, LLC (RFCC) will operate between Raleigh, NC, and Fayetteville, NC. ow.ly/8FlE50LCNZM

We celebrate the anniversary of the enactment of the Staggers Act. This law partially deregulated railroads, fundamentally changing our country's supply chain landscape. Today, railroads are the most efficient and safe mode of transportation and the backbone of America.

We are grateful to be awarded a CRISI grant by the @USDOT to benefit the RJCC. The more than $7 million will help fund a three-fold improvement project. We look forward to seeing this plan positively impact our company, business partners, and community. ow.ly/ikmj50JqWUF
