Facility Located Rail Served Warehousing
Railroad Operations Questions and Answers
- What is the number of trucks that would be entering facility during a typical 24 hour period? Is there any day of the week or time of day when traffic would be heavier?
- The term “facility” needs a bit of clarification. The Logistics Park includes warehousing (with and without direct rail service) and the Intermodal Facility. It is anticipated that the Intermodal Facility will generate approximately 2000 truck trips/day at start-up.
- Opening year projections are 1,822 for Intermodal trucks, 286 for Intermodal employees, 1,638 for rail-served warehouse, and 2,190 non-rail-served warehouse/distribution for a total of 5,936. –Table B-1, Traffic Study of the Proposed Logistics Park, by HDR prepared for BNSF on March 14, 2006.
- Number of trains coming into the facility on a normal day?
- Again, the term “facility” includes all aspects of the Logistics Park. It is anticipated that the equivalent of seven to ten 7000-foot trains would be arriving or departing the Intermodal facility during a 24hr. period and, by 2025, up to 30 trains per day. Trains that transport product for the rail-served warehousing would be anticipated to be less frequent.
- Will trucks and trains be coming into facility seven days a week, 24 hours a day?
- Yes, but will vary by day and hour with peak periods.
- The Logistics Park will operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Truck traffic to and from the facility on weekends will be less than during the week because receivers of shipments are typically closed on weekends. However, train traffic and Intermodal loading and unloading within the facility will remain constant.
