incobrasa fact 5: taking bean

Immediately after grabbing a quick shot of them at County Road 300 E, we’d hop back in Evan’s CTS to pace the TPW HLX1-13 east along E County Road 1800 N as the train closed in on Incobrasa Industries Ltd.’s expansive soybean facility. A shot through the CTS’ sunroof showcases the #TPW5009 [GP50], #TPW2105 [GP38-2] and #IORY5012 [GP50] headed eastbound with their 88 car train, rolling past harvested crop fields and farmland at a steady 25 MPH. Upon arriving at “Gilman Pass”, the siding used for staging cars for Incobrasa, HLX1-13 would set out the first 32 cars directly behind their power into the Pass for them, which comprised of 25 Incobrasa covered hoppers and seven tank cars. TPW HLX2-13 would spot the cars later that day on their westbound run due to the westward facing switch leading into the facility.

Located in Gilman, IL along TP&W’s Illinois Subdivision, Incobrasa Industries [Industrial Company Brazil South America] soybean crushing and processing facility opened in 1997 as the company’s main facility in North America, having seen continuous expansion through the years with a major one currently underway to double the facility’s production capacity. It should come as no surprise that they’re the TP&W’s biggest customer after all. Export products from Incobrasa’s facility are primarily biodiesels, vegetable oil, and animal feed. The company’s expansive fleet of covered hoppers and tank cars, now in the hundreds, allow them to receive and send out shipments in bulk, the TP&W being at the forefront of making that operation happen.
