Phoenix intermodal facility timeline and site

According to BNSF’s “Logistic Park Phoenix Newsletter”, operations are slated to start in early 2027. At the same time, the facility will occupy 350 acres. In addition, that land is part of BNSF’s 4,320-acre property. Still, the site is set to become the Logistics Park Phoenix project.

BNSF Railway awaits county approval

Work on the intermodal facility is underway. Meanwhile, BNSF waits for approval from local county officials. Also, the revised development plan covers both the park and the intermodal facility. Separately, a Phoenix Business Journal report noted that status.

Freight capacity in Arizona and Maricopa County growth

BNSF officials said in the newsletter, “State planners expect freight moving through Arizona to grow by about 60% by 2045. At the same time, many of the rail facilities that move goods across the state are already close to full capacity.” Also, they said this will happen once the facility is operating. It will provide the rail capacity needed to move freight more efficiently in the region.

The newsletter also states, “Maricopa County is one of the fastest-growing regions in the country.” It adds, “That growth is exciting, but it also means our supply chains are working harder than ever.”
