MOSSVILLE, La. — Infrastructure and supply-chain firm Savage and Kansas City Southern have announced they will build a transload and railcar storage facility on property leased from KCS’s Mossville, La., yard. Savage’s Mossville multi-commodity railport will help serve Lake Charles area refineries, chemical plants, and other businesses.
“Savage has a longstanding relationship with KCS and we’re excited to open this new Louisiana railport and provide a sizable transload and storage facility at their Mossville yard in the coming months,” Savage President and CEO Kirk Aubry said in a press release. “We’ve provided rail and loading services for customers in the Lake Charles area for many years, and look forward to making a difference for even more businesses in Southwest Louisiana.”
The new facility will have more than 70 active transloading spots and storage space for 600 railcars. It is expected to be open in January 2022.
