This LOGISTICS PARK located in Baytown, Texas represents a typical industrial track project for our TRACK SERVICES GROUP.  Phase I is shown in the above photograph and consists of approximately 100 cars of interchange, 300 cars of storage, and an industrial lead that serves other properties within the park.  Phase II is currently under construction and will double the interchange capacity of the park.  Phase III will follow shortly with approximately 300 cars of additional storage capacity.
