On March 5, 2018, Union Pacific

Additionally, in February Union Pacific announced construction
on Brazos Yard in Robertson County,
Texas. This $550 million
facility is scheduled for completion in 2020 and will be one of the
largest rail facilities in Texas.
Brazos Yard will support Union Pacific's customers that represent a
wide variety of economic drivers across Texas, including cross-border traffic,
petrochemicals, consumer goods and plastics. With room for
potential expansion to make it one of the largest yards in the
country, Brazos Yard represents a significant investment in
