Delano, Calif., logistics hub includes Railex's innovative rail system

Railex, which has terminals in Delano, Calif., Wallula, Wash., and Roterdam, N.Y., offers climate-controlled rail service to transport and store sensitive cargo, including produce.

Writing in the current edition of the Kern Business Journal, Pat Bruno, the Railex USA senior vice president of sales and marketing, noted the company’s systems have “benefited growers and manufacturers by helping them simplify their transportation and distribution logistics; keeping costs down; and allowing producers to reach markets faster than if they shipped via conventional rail.”

Railex officials estimate the company’s innovative rail delivery solutions save more than 200,000 gallons of fuel per week and result in there times fewer emissions versus long-haul truck delivery.
