Terminal Development
Capabilities
Iron Horse Rail develops, owns, and operates rail terminal infrastructure. We work with producers, processors, and commodity buyers to design, build, and operate purpose-built rail logistics facilities — taking on the development and operations role so our customers can focus on their business.
Site Selection & Rail Access — Iron Horse evaluates potential sites based on Class I mainline access, commodity flow economics, and customer throughput requirements. We have direct experience working with Union Pacific and BNSF on site access, track construction, and long-term rail service agreements.
Terminal Design & Engineering — We design terminals around the specific commodity and volume requirements of the project — tankage, rail loop configurations, transload rack layout, truck access, and pipeline connectivity as needed.
Construction — Iron Horse manages construction from permitting through commissioning — including civil earthwork, track installation, tankage, loading and unloading infrastructure, and utilities. We operate in both greenfield and brownfield environments.
Operations — Iron Horse operates the terminals we build. We provide staffing, maintenance, regulatory compliance, and day-to-day logistics management as the long-term terminal operator.
Facility Types:
-
Liquid bulk terminals (heated and ambient tankage, rail and truck racks, pipeline connectivity)
-
Dry bulk terminals (covered hopper receipt, storage, and truck loadout)
-
Rail transload facilities (liquid and dry bulk, minimal infrastructure footprint)
-
Integrated service terminals (storage, cleaning, repair, and transloading at one location)
-
Multi-modal facilities (rail, truck, barge, and pipeline access)
