IAMR 3452
Title:  IAMR 3452
Description:  In 2001 Rail Enterprise Group was formed with the creation of Raritan Central Railway to serve the Raritan Center Business Park in Edison, New Jersey. Later, the Pennsylvania & Southern Railway serving the Letterkenny Army Depot and the Cumberland Valley Business Park in Pennsylvania, was added. In 2019 contracts were signed to operate the Iowa and Middletown Railway to serve the Commerce Center of Southeast Iowa in Middletown, IA and the Wolf Creek Railroad located at the Milan Commercial Complex in Milan, TN. Effective sometime during the first quarter of 2022 the operation contracts for IMAR and WCKR were awarded to Commtrex Exchange, headquartered at Sugar Land TX. Commtrex declined to purchase or lease the REG motive power so the engines were sent in 2 groups to the PSCC at the Cumberland Valley site near Chambersburg PA for storage:
