BNSF to Develop $4B Barstow Intermodal Hub in California

BNSF Railway is constructing a $4 billion intermodal facility in Barstow, California. The Barstow International Gateway will span 4,500 acres and include transload warehouses to handle growing intermodal shipments from Southern California ports. U.S. rail carriers report strong freight volumes, with intermodal traffic leading growth. The project responds to competitive pressures as ocean carriers reassess rail partnerships for inland container distribution. Federal investment in port-rail connectivity projects reflects broader industry momentum toward multimodal infrastructure development along the West Coast.
