The Jacksonville Port Authority (JAXPORT) board last week approved a six-year lease renewal with Watco subsidiary Jacksonville Port Terminal Railroad LLC, JAXPORT officials announced in a LinkedIn post.

The Jacksonville Port Terminal Railroad operates the on-dock rail system at JAXPORT’s Talleyrand Marine Terminal and provides direct connections to CSX and Norfolk Southern Railway. Primary commodities moved by the railroad include autos, chemicals, farm and food products, intermodal containers and pulp and paper products, according to Watco.

The agreement also includes four one-year lease renewal options.
