US class I railroad expands services in New Mexico
US-based Union Pacific Railroad (UP) is undertaking a USD 20 million project at its Santa Teresa intermodal terminal and refuelling station in New Mexico.
The project's focus is on adding another block swap yard that will allow to add container blocks to passing trains faster and more efficiently along the railroad’s 1,225 km sunset corridor between El Paso and Los Angeles CA.
Many of the containers stored in Santa Teresa are loaded directly from factory floors onto trucks that cross the Mexico border into the USA at the Santa Teresa or El Paso crossing.
UP has 995 km of track in New Mexico and the Santa Teresa facility has a current capacity for 225,000 container lifts. (ben)
