Rail-Served Warehousing — Union Pacific Spur
An on-site, 19-car Union Pacific rail spur — serviced six days a week — embedded in a 420,000 sq ft warehouse campus on CA-99. The Central Valley's most capable rail-served logistics operation.
On-Site Union Pacific Rail Service
Rail-served warehousing is Tulare Industrial Center's strongest competitive advantage. Our facility is served directly by Union Pacific via an on-site spur that accommodates up to 19 railcars and is switched six days per week. That gives shippers consistent, high-capacity rail access without the cost or complexity of routing freight through an off-site transload yard.
This service is built for agricultural shippers, food producers, manufacturers, and bulk commodity operators who move enough volume that rail economics matter. Whether you're inbound from origin elevators, outbound to national distribution, or transloading between modes, our rail program reduces drayage moves, compresses transit time, and unlocks the cost-per-ton advantages that over-the-road freight can't match.
On-Site Union Pacific Rail Spur
19-car capacity, six-day switch service, and a direct connection to the UP mainline — placing the national rail network at your dock. Because the spur is on-site, every rail-routed shipment skips the external drayage move, the extra handling, and the risk that comes with it.
Truck-to-Rail Transloading
Inbound trucks transfer directly to outbound railcars — or the reverse — inside the same facility, with the same crew. Bulk ag, packaged food, and manufactured product all move through routinely, and the on-site warehouse provides surge buffer when modes don't line up perfectly.
Commodities and Industries Served
Bulk agricultural products, carload-quantity packaged food, manufactured goods, and intermodal containers — anchored by Central Valley ag, food, and manufacturing shippers. Any high-volume Valley commodity is worth evaluating against over-the-road costs.
Cost and Supply Chain Advantages
Rail typically runs 20–30% cheaper per ton-mile than trucking on longer hauls. With the spur on-site, you also eliminate the third-party transload drayage leg — compounding the savings on every shipment and removing a coordination point from your supply chain.
