Union Pacific is expected to spend about $417 million to build an intermodal switching yard at Santa Teresa – just inside New Mexico near El Paso, Texas – plus an intermodal ramp for regional traffic, a fueling facility for its trains, and crew change buildings.
The carrier needs to modernize and expand from its El Paso operations which serve intermodal and other rail traffic moving to and from Mexico, and connects with U.S. main line tracks going to Southern California or up to Chicago.
