Midland River Ohio Co.

Moves Its First

Tenn-Tom Waterway Tow

Midland/Ohio River Company (ORCO), one of the nation's largest river transportation companies, moved its first tow on the Tennes- see-Tombigbee Waterway recently.

ORCO and R&W Marine, a Mid- land subsidiary, carried nearly 6,000 tons of Kentucky coal in four barges for Weyerhaeuser.

After the 10-day, 900-mile trip to the Port of Columbus, Miss., the coal was transferred to trucks for the final leg to the Weyerhaeuser mill, where the coal was burned with wood to produce electricity and steam.

Weyerhaeuser plans to study the cost of the operation to see if it will continue to use the Tenn-Tom to bring in coal.
