For Watco, New Texas Terminal Written by Marybeth Luczak, Executive Editor
The Refugio Transload Terminal can accommodate 650 railcars, and offers eight 2,000-ton concrete silos with conveyer systems for handling bulk commodities, with the option to transload from rail to silo to truck, in any combination.
Watco is now offering a 222-acre transloading facility near Refugio, Tex., to support the bulk, chemicals, oil and gas, wind energy, agriculture, and steel industries.
Formerly a Watco-operated sand receipt facility for the energy industry, the Refugio Transload Terminal is now owned by the short line holding company, which is looking to bring in more customers and commodities from the Corpus Christi, Rockport and Sinton industrial areas. Watco serves seven terminals in the state.
