One of the newest industries along the rails involves some of the oldest material on earth - sand! While it's been used for centuries to make building materials, glass and metal castings, you'll also find it in paint, fertiliser and plastics. Recently, (fracturing sand) or (frac sand) has become a hot commodity, used to break rock and improve the flow at new oil and gas fields. But you can't use just any kind of sand for any kind of product, which means it's got to be hauled long distances from producer to end user - a big job tailor-made for today's railroads! Wherever sand is offloaded, you'll find facilities like the Rail-to-Road Aggregate Transfer. These contemporary track side operations can be found at a wide range of industries, where they handle road salt, fertiliser and other granular materials.
