With the arrival of a locomotive and several wagons from RheinCargo, Dyckerhoff’s logistics partner, after about 15 years, the railway connection at the Amöneburg plant was officially reactivated.
The late 19th century tracks already present in the northern area of the plant where the white cement production facilities are located were put back into operation and the relevant level crossing outside the plant on the state road to Wiesbaden was returned to working order. 
Now that the industrial spur has been restored, the cement plant operators can count on another means of transportation. 
The low water levels of the river Rhine two years ago made us realize the importance of having an alternative means of transport which, in this case, is also environmentally friendly. 
Using rivers and railways for transporting bulk freight also actively helps lighten the load of road transport.
