WASHINGTON — A private railroad serving an industrial park in the Houston area has filed paperwork with the Surface Transportation Board to become a common-carrier operation.
TGS Cedar Port Railroad will operate 1.28 miles of track in the Cedar Port Industrial Park in Baytown, Texas. The trackage, which connects with Union Pacific, originally was part of a United States Steel complex. In an STB filing, the railroad and industrial park, both part of Trans-Global Solutions, say they “have determined that the park and its various customers wold benefit from the provision of railroad common carrier service … to and from its connecting interline carriers, BSNF and UP.”
The company says it expects to initiate common carrier operations on or after Aug. 6, 2022, and anticipates it will be a Class III railroad with annual revenue exceeding $5 million.
