With three Class I railroads servicing Port Corpus Christi, shippers have the ability to send cargo via rail virtually from or to anywhere in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Rail on the port's cargo docks (including the strongest dock of U.S. Gulf ports), means direct to/from vessel access at a deep water port.
Rail is a vital component of Port Corpus Christi, and rail operations have increased over 100 percent in the last five years. Due to this substantial increase a rail master plan identified a new rail interchange yard near the west end of the Inner Harbor.
Using money from a U.S. TIGER grant, and funds provided by BNSF, KCS, and Union Pacific Railroad's, construction and funding have been approved for Phase I of the Nueces River Rail Yard. The construction contract was recently awarded to Haas-Anderson Construction Ltd.
