Eastern Railroad Discussion > Industry in Uncasville/Montville, CTDate: 11/17/20 08:30 Industry in Uncasville/Montville, CT Author: rkap10 I am seeking information about this industry, e.g., what it is and who owns it. It is located on the south side of Horton Cove where it empties into the Thames River. Thanks. Bob Kaplan

I originally thought it was a lime or cement plant but studying satellite images I could not see any evidence of a kiln. Thank you. Bob Kaplan

RockTenn, now WestRock, is a paper-making company. Date: 11/20/20 04:44 Re: Industry in Uncasville/Montville, CT Author: toledopatch It was Stone Container when I lived in Connecticut. Corrugated boxes and maybe paper bags. There was also a coal-fired power plant nearby that got its fuel by barge but shipped ash out in hoppers.
