RAILEX ROLLING OUT GROWTH PLANS
By Pratik Joshi, Herald staff writerWALLULA – At a time when the rail freight industry is under the threat of becoming derailed by a down economy, Railex is adding tracks for growth.
The company, often touted as a rolling warehouse, says it has revolutionized shipping and the distribution of goods across the East and West Coasts with its five-day delivery guarantee since it began offering service between Wallula and Rotterdam, N.Y. in 2006.
Recently, Railex’s Wallula facility was approved as a bonded wine warehouse, and Railex’s Delano, Calif., terminal which opened last year – started a second weekly train service to the company terminal in Rotterdam.
At least 45 percent of the 210,000-square-foot Wallula facility is being used as a bonded wine warehouse, said Jim Kleist, vice president Northwest region for Railex.
