The 4,500-acre facility in Barstow, Calif., would move arriving cargo containers 130 miles away from two key coastal ports.
Political leaders in California praised BNSF’s decision. The railroad said the project doesn’t rely on public funding.
“The significance of BNSF’s investment to improve the supply chain here in California cannot be overstated,” said Trelynd Bradley, deputy director of sustainable freight and supply chain development for the state’s business and economic development office. Port of Los Angeles executive director Gene Seroka said the project also will reduce truck traffic on Southern California freeways and speed the movement of goods to consumers and businesses. Barstow, where BNSF has operated an existing rail yard for 140 years, is about 130 miles from the two ports.
. Developers previously disclosed plans for Mojave Inland Port, a 410-acre site to be served by Union Pacific.. BNSF is owned by Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway..
