New Laredo Rail Park Aims to Diversify Beyond Trucking at Busiest US-Mexico Border Gateway
The US Surface Transportation Board approved the Laredo Gateway Industrial Railway, a 2.6-mile short-line railroad within Kraus Development's Gateway Industrial Park in Laredo, Texas. Developers Kraus Development and Ironhorse Resources aim to create Laredo's first modern short-line rail-served industrial park, providing shippers a new option to transfer cargo between trucks and rail without leaving the region. Construction is expected to start within three to six months, with rail service beginning about a year later.
