Railex LLC’s New York facility right on track
Joel Gebet -- The Produce News -- July 17, 2006ROTTERDAM, NY — Imagine a 110-story building and an 18-story building lying on their sides perpendicular to each other.
This might give some idea of the sheer size of the new produce freight consolidation facility that Railex LLC, a division of ADS Management, is building here.
Construction is right on track on the 200,000-square-foot, state-of-the art transload facility, which Paul Esposito, Railex’s general manager, expects to be completed in mid-September. The facility will receive a unit train from the company’s other new facility that is also under construction in Wallula, WA.
“We expect the first train to arrive in the beginning of October,” Mr.
Esposito said.
Originally, Railex was looking at several sites in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, but Mr. Esposito said it chose to build the multi-million-dollar facility in Rotterdam due to “all of the synergies of truck, rail, building and town hitting at the same place. Rotterdam and Schenectady County have been very welcoming. We needed a location that was off an interstate as well as an expedited route for CSX. Given all the facets, Rotterdam was the place.”
