“This investment also paves a path that allows us to better remove any obstacles for future tenants and provide options for scalable growth. This is a step toward safer, more efficient logistics, and better accommodating continued expansion, he added.

This project is supported by funding from the Texas Military Preparedness Commission through a $1.5 million Defense Economic Adjustment Assistance Grant (DEAAG). The program facilitated an expedited purchase, which enabled the center to retire older locomotives acquired as part of the 2021 purchase of a railcar storage business.

This investment ensures faster transloading, better delivery times, and superior logistics for tenants and partners, like the Red River Army Depot.” They also help industries that are dependent on heavy commodity traffic, or for long-range shipment, remain competitive.

Projects currently in progress include new track construction, more spurs, and a sit yard on East Campus. These developments are toward increases in capacity and to also allow flexibility for future demand.

The center continues to be driven by input from tenants. Leaders constantly adjust operations and investments in response to client demand; future demand can be effectively anticipated to ensure that services remain in line with market dynamics and business strategies.
