CPKC to open Texas transload facility with Patriot Rail

Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) and Patriot Rail Company are partnering to establish a new multi-commodity transload facility on CPKC’s network in Denton, Tx.

The facility will serve customers in the fast-growing Dallas-Fort Worth area with transload services for commodities including lumber, cement, fly ash, steel and consumer appliances.

“We continue to leverage our strategic land holdings and invest in transloads across the network to create additional connections, improve service and provide our customers with more efficient and cost-effective transportation services,” said Coby Bullard, CPKC senior vice-president of sales and marketing merchandise, energy and business development. “Together with Patriot Rail and Patriot’s investment in this new Denton site, we are creating a more sustainable supply chain while meeting the future needs of the marketplace.”

“We are excited to grow with CPKC and continue serving the cement, aggregate and lumber markets in the southwest region by expanding our operations in Texas,” added Tom Tisa, Patriot Rail’s chief commercial officer.

The facility is slated for construction later this year.
