What I'm guessing is just a corporate thing but does anyone have more info about it?

The way that reads, Kinkisharyo wants to lease all or part of its facility in Piscataway, NJ to others who may need rail services at that facility, and Kinkisharyo wants to provide those services within the facility.

They've been providing transload to the container shipper for at least 6 months already. I'm guessing that they started the operation and then realized they might need to file proper paperwork if they wanted to expand operations. I wish them every success in this venture.

Name sounds like anime pron.

It looks like they have created a new "division" within the company to manage the added rail services to third parties. That might have been done to add layer of liability protection in case of de-railings and other things go off the rails.

I also initially thought liability, but it appears that the operating railroad is a "division". To afford any liability insulation would require that the railroad be separately incorporated.

They may be looking to ship out their waste from their Piscataway facility. Looks like another non-union operation looking to get their hands in the waste transfer pot. This will give more work for the Manville Conrail job.

six months ago Kinkisharyo's yard area was full of containers. Now it is mostly empty though some equipment remains. A high side gon is there, probably to collect scrap metal from Kinkisharyo's manufacturing operations, along with their engine and an empty 5-well container car. Equipment is still there for loading containers, they just don't appear to be operating at this time...probably waiting for regulatory approval to operate a 1500 foot "railroad?"

According to a post on Facebook, a DRRV high side Gondola is at Kinkisharyo.
