Two New River Terminals Added By Alter—Third To Be Constructed

Alter Company of Davenport, Iowa, has announced the recent addition of two new river terminals in Rock Island, 111., and Omaha, Neb., and a third terminal soon to be constructed in Burlington, Iowa.

The Rock Island river terminal handles dry bulk, liquids, steel, lumber, and other commodities.

Within the 88,000 square feet of enclosed space, storage and bagging services are performed. The balance of the 20-acre site will be used for outdoor storage and expansion. The terminal, located at Mile 480.8 on the Upper Mississippi River, is serviced by the Burlington Northern and the Milwaukee Railroads. Interstate highway connections can be made via Illinois 92, an expressway two blocks from the terminal.

The South Omaha river terminal, currently under rehabilitation, has 18,800 square feet of enclosed storage and 30 acres for outdoor storage and development.

Located at Mile 612.2 on the Missouri River, the Omaha facility is serviced by the Burlington Northern Railroad and is easily accessible from a major highway.

At Burlington, Iowa, the company has received permits from the U.S. Corps of Engineers to erect a 200-foot dock, several Acells, and railroad trackage. Various development schemes are being studied for the 90-acre site.

Located at Mile 398 on the Upper Mississippi River, the site is situated at the closest point on the Mississippi to the Wyoming coal fields. The fields are served by the Burlington Northern Railroad.

Alter's other river terminals are at St. Paul, Minn.; LaCrosse, Wis.; and Buffalo, Iowa.
