Union Pacific Railroad has announced plans to develop the Mainline Texas Industrial Park, a master-planned, 2,000-acre industrial development just outside Houston.

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 and international gateways in Laredo, Eagle Pass and El Paso.

“We’re excited about the new growth opportunities this park opens up for our customers,” said Executive Vice President – Marketing and Sales Kenny Rocker. “It’s near the state’s largest concentration of people, industry and commerce, and allows customers to reach more than 25 million consumers within a 250-mile radius. That’s real growth potential and another example of how we are planning into the future with our customers.”

Mainline Texas Industrial Park offers 1,300 acres of rail-served land and 700 acres for non-rail industrial and commercial uses, with potential for more than 20 million square feet of Class A development. The site features rail car storage, on-site water and wastewater systems, regional drainage and access to high-capacity gas infrastructure, making it one of the state’s most robust industrial offerings for customers.
