Three separately located rail operations have been consolidated into a massive, centralized and highlyefficient terminal facility. Nearly 12 miles long and encompassing 2,200 desert acres in remote New Mexico, the project includes two fueling platforms two miles apart, which facilitate bi-directional train fueling, servicing and inspection, in addition to more than 50 miles of new track and 23 operational support buildings. Construction of 15 miles of new access roads, along with 2.5 miles of electrical, water and sanitary sewer lines, was also required.At full capacity, the new terminal can process 120 trains with up to four locomotives each day. With its size and complexity, the facility is an extraordinary example of mechanical and electrical engineering coordination.
