BARSTOW, Calif. — The City of Barstow has announced that BNSF Railway will expand its Barstow yard, adding an intermodal facility.
The Victor Valley News reports that the announcement came at an Oct. 31 meeting of the Barstow Area Chamber of Commerce Economic Development Committee. The newspaper reports that grading work for the project has begun.
BNSF has not yet announced details of the project, but it is well-situated for truck traffic. The report notes that Barstow is at the junction of interstates 15 and 40, and that state route 58, which provides a connection to California’s central valley, is being widened from two to four lanes in the Barstow area.
