Union Pacific began preparation work for an all-new 2,000-acre rail facility just outside Santa Teresa, N.M. The company plans to invest an estimated $400 million toward the total cost of the project.

Once complete, the facility will be 11.5 miles long and one mile wide and will include 200 miles of railroad track and 26 buildings for yard operations. It will also include fueling facilities, crew change buildings, locomotive inspection tracks, an intermodal ramp and a switching yard.
