Union Pacific Railroad announced five new Focus Sites, which officials said would provide businesses additional connections to the railroad’s 32,000-mile network and new opportunities to address their transportation needs.
Focus Sites are large-scale development sites suited for custom-built warehouses or industrial facilities. These sites are railroad hubs where Union Pacific can concentrate resources, effectively manage logistics and provide targeted services for its customers.
“Our team of regional experts specialize in finding you the best site to build your business,” said Kenny Rocker, Executive Vice President – Marketing and Sales. “We work with customers to understand their business needs and find solutions to win in the marketplace.”
In all, Union Pacific has 32 Focus Sites across its network. The five new sites are in Shawnee, Oklahoma; Cedar City and Grantsville, Utah; and San Antonio and Texarkana, Texas. Combined, these five sites have 15,000 available acres ready for development.
In addition to Focus Sites, Union Pacific provides a Site Solutions Tool with more than 6,000 potential properties available and located within 800 meters of its rail lines. The listings are constantly updated to offer customers full visibility into available options to establish rail service with Union Pacific.
