US Development Group Begins Operations At SoCal Ethanol Terminal
Houston TX (SPX) Dec 21, 2009 U.S. Development Group has announced that its West Colton Rail Terminal has begun to receive and offload ethanol railcars. The terminal, located in Rialto, Calif., is served by the Union Pacific Railroad and located less than a mile from gasoline blending terminals that supply the greater San Bernardino and Riverside County-Inland Empire region. "The West Colton terminal represents a key addition to the nationwide network of logistics terminals developed, owned and operated by U.S. Development Group," said Larry Padfield, vice president of U.S. Development Group. "The West Colton Rail Terminal has been strategically situated in the Inland Empire region of southern California to help our customers meet this market's growing need for ethanol." The new terminal is capable of receiving single rail cars up to full unit trains and has the capacity to offload 15,000 barrels of ethanol per day. The facility will form a key link in the supply chain for distributing fuel-grade ethanol throughout the Inland Empire, as well as the San Diego and Bakersfield areas. The terminal has been completed in time to meet the increase in ethanol demand in California resulting from the January 2010 increase to a 10 percent ethanol blend across the state. Future development includes the construction of a pipeline to connect with a dedicated ethanol storage and gasoline operation. The direct pipeline will eliminate much of the need for secondary trucking operations onsite. Additionally, the terminal will include a 100-car unit train receipt and offloading terminal, scheduled for completion in late 2010. Share This Article With Planet Earth
