On December 13, 2010, the CBH Group of
Western Australia announced that Watco had been awarded its long-term grain rail
contract. The CBH Group is a Western Australian farmer owned cooperative that
was established in 1933. It’s controlled by more than 4,800 grower-shareholders
who plant and harvest grain grown across the 198,840
square miles (320,000 square kilometres) that comprise the Western Australian
grain belt. Watco will begin its Western Australian operations in May of
2012 and will provide comprehensive rail logistics services including train
planning and scheduling, tracing, maintenance and inventory control. This will
involve transporting an average of 368-441 million bushels (10-12 million tonnes)
of grain from 192 country receival sites to CBH’s four export terminals. CBH also announced they would be investing $175 million in
rolling stock which Watco would operate and maintain, this would include a
number of locomotives and more than 300 wagons (railcars). The Western Australian grain network is similar in carload volume and track
length to Watco’s Central Region grain network consisting of the Kansas and
Oklahoma Railroad, the South Kansas and Oklahoma Railroad and the Stillwater
Central Railroad.
Driver and fitter positions will be available in
the very near future.
