Main distribution hub for plastic pellets
A property of the US class I railway Union Pacific (UP) has been transformed into a rail transload facility for Plastic Pellets. The yard is located in the heart of Kansas City and is now in operation. The new hub was revitalised and developed by Dana Transport, representing a win-win for both of the transport companies.
The facility will be a key distribution hub for plastic pellets arriving from the Texas Gulf Coast area by rail for truck transport to Midwest manufacturers, the partners said.
Plastic resins are used for medical, automotive, food grade and other industrial purposes. Plastic-pellet manufacturers in the Texas Gulf Coast can now transport their products directly on Union Pacific. (ben)
