Background

The terminal has an annual throughput capacity of 11 million short tons (approximately 10 million metric tonnes), and storage of nearly one million short tons. Rail service is carried out by Union Pacific. The terminal handles primarily coal, grain, and petcoke.

In 2012 Peabody Coal said it expected to extend contracts at the Cora Terminal to facilitate shipments of Illinois Basin coal for domestic and international markets.

The terminal was owned by Kinder Morgan Energy Partners. On November 10, 2016, Watco Companies reached a definitive agreement with Kinder Morgan Terminals to purchase 20 bulk terminal operations in the United States, including Cora Terminal. In 2019, Watco began a partnership with SCH Services, LLC in order to increase its capabilities in the four rivers area of Illinois-Kentucky. The joint venture creates a three-terminal network with the Calvert City Terminal, Four Rivers Terminal, and Cora Terminal.
