KANSAS CITY — Kansas City Southern and Midstream Texas Operating are combining to build a new transload facility for petroleum and petrochemical products in Corpus Christi, Texas, for shipment into Mexico, the companies announced this week.
The facility will be built by MTO on property leased from KCS. When operations begin, which is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2021, it will have tracks and facilities for loading and staging 200 railcars per month. The site will be expandable to 500 cars per month.
“KCS is looking forward to working with MTO to expand infrastructure to supply petroleum products to Mexico out of Corpus Christi. This new transload is strategically close to supply locations and to the border for expedient access to end markets,” Ginger Adamiak, KCS vice president energy and chemical products, said in a press release.
More information is available at the MTO website.
