(8)  Ohio River Terminal

On May 31, 2013 we purchased for $2.8 million a multi-commodity truck/barge terminal. Over 17 acres of secured area is available. The terminal is at mile point 743.8 on the Indiana bank of the Ohio River near the William Natcher Bridge between Rockport and Grandview, Indiana.  Currently the dock will handle third party commodities.  In the long term, we plan to ship coal through the dock.  The terminal is in close proximity to the NS railroad, the CSX railroad and American Electric Power's Rockport generating power plant. We do not expect revenue from this asset until late 2014.
