SANTA TERESA >> New Mexico politicians showered Union Pacific officials
with accolades Wednesday during the official christening of the railroad's
new, $400 million, 2,200-acre rail facility in Santa Teresa, which
officials expect to bolster economic development in this region for years
to come.
.
New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez even had the more than 700 people, who
were assembled underneath a huge white tent on a hot, sunny morning at
Union Pacific's new facility, give railroad officials a standing ovation.
.
"What an amazing achievement. And it was completed one year ahead of
schedule," Martinez said. "This sets up Santa Teresa to be an
intercontinental hub."
.
The facility, located near Santa Teresa's three industrial parks, and near
the Santa Teresa port of entry, includes one of Union Pacific's largest
fueling facilities and the railroads's largest intermodal freight terminal
along the U.S.-Mexico border.
.
The 300-acre, high-tech intermodal terminal, opened April 1, is expected
to process more than 170,000 freight containers this year. It is to be
expanded in future years to eventually handle 700,000 containers a year.
The huge containers from West Coast ship ports and inland terminals in
Chicago and other metro areas bring goods and materials for stores and
factories on both sides of the border, and also take goods from area
factories to other areas of the country.
.
U.S. Sen. Tom Udall, D-N.M., called the new facility "amazing."
.
"These railroad tracks bring more than freight. They bring new business,
new jobs, and new hope," Udall said.
.
Do Ana County Commissioner David Garcia called the new facility "earth
shattering" because of the multiple millions of dollars it brings into the
New Mexico economy, and the 600 jobs it will eventually bring to Santa
Teresa. About 300 people, including Union Pacific contractors, now work at
the facility.
