Building an inland port
US short line operator Patriot Rail and Merced County have jointly opened a new loading dock at the Castle Commerce Centre CA (USA), laying the foundation for transforming the rail district into an inland port to serve California ports and beyond. In 2023, the state of California awarded USD 49.6 million to Merced County to expand the Castle rail district.
Patriot has invested almost USD 4 million in the hub since the launch of the Merced County Central Valley Railroad (MCVR) in 2022. The investments support first-mile/final mile rail and transloading services and include inter alia the construction of 1,690 m of new rail connection track. (ben)
