| Steam
heat is provided to storage tanks and rail cars alike with
125hp boilers. Boilers also provide steam to the company’s
cleaning facility. An on premises inground platform scale
equipped with an electronic digital printer and remote digital
billboard display insures accurate loading at both the East
Saint Louis and Minneapolis terminal. Warehousing and packaging
has recently been reintroduced by Ee-Jay as a service to its
customers and has been used to great advantage as it rounds
out the variety of logistical solutions available to our customers.
A fully equipped maintenance and parts storage
facility provides a total maintenance and major overhaul capability
for all company equipment.
EXPERIENCE
Ee-Jay has been involved in ex-rail movements of bulk commodities
since 1953. Over 6,000 truck loads originate at Ee-Jay annually
representing a 1500 jumbo railcar through put. Our terminal
management has an average employment date of 1977 making them
experienced industry leaders in the safe and proper handling
of bulk commodities.
VACUUM
TRANSFER
Several portable "stand alone" vacuum machines are
also utilized in the terminal. They are powered by electric
motors and self contained diesel engines and provide an additional
level of flexibility available to our customers.

INVENTORY
CONTROL AND REPORTING
Computer generated railcar location and inventory controls
enable us to maintain up to the minute inventory. All receipts
and shipments are reported in strict accordance with each
customer’s individual and specific requirements as to
form and timeliness.
TOTAL
CONTROL = PRODUCT PURITY
Total control and responsibility for the product from the
time the car enters our yard until the load goes into the
consignee’s storage bin.
» No finger-pointing between terminal
facility and carrier, as is often the case.
» Our strict cleaning and handling standards, along
with SPI’s “Operation Clean Sweep” and CMA’s
“Responsible Care” programs, are maintained throughout
the entire loading and delivery process.
» To insure the delivery of contamination free material
we own all our tractors as well as trailers (no independent
operators). Drivers are given extensive training in the appropriate
clean handling and delivery requirements of our customers’
products.

Highly critical appraisals from our customers are encouraged

a unique fabric filter pellet trap which eliminates the release
of pellets to the environment during blow down functions.
