Mainline Texas: 20 Million SF of Development, Storage for 1,700 Railcars

Some 1,300 acres of the Mainline Texas Industrial Park will be rail-served land, with the remainder of the property open to other commercial development.

That’s real growth potential and another example of how we are planning into the future with our customers.”

The park is strategically located along Union Pacific’s main line with direct access to U.S. 90, Highway 36, Spur 10, and Interstate 69, offering customers seamless transportation across the region’s major population centers the border.
