Sep 11, 2013 (ACCESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- FORT LAUDERDALE, FL, September 11, 2013 - (ACCESSWIRE) - Continental Rail Corp. ("CRC") (otc pink:CRCX), a short line and regional freight railroad holding company, today announced that it has engaged energy and infrastructure investment banking firm Taylor-DeJongh Ltd.
