Rail district for California’s Central Valley
In USA, the Merced County board of supervisors has approved an agreement with Patriot Rail to establish a rail district at Castle in the heart of California’s Central Valley.
The USD 1.2 million rail district will enhance the ability of agricultural producers, manufacturers and other enterprises from the San Joaquin Valley to ship and receive products via the Burlington-Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) railroad mainline.
Patriot Rail will develop additional infrastructure to facilitate enhanced railfreight service from the location. As part of the agreement, Patriot Rail will lease and maintain 19,812 km of track. (ben)
