Barstow Will Serve As New Home For 4,500 Acre Integrated Rail Facility

BNSF announced their development of a 4,500 acre integrated rail facility to greatly expand a key bottleneck in rail capacity as the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach have faced nearly two years of record freight volumes.

The railroad giant will invest up to $1.5 billion immediately in the intermodal facility which will be complimented by the ongoing $4 billion in expansions to Southern California intermodal corridors in the last decade.

This is an extremely important story and we will continue to follow and analyze its developments in the coming weeks and months.
