Transportation & Logistics
It’s one thing to produce products needed throughout the world; it’s quite another to get them there. That’s further complicated when you factor in the expansive size of renewable energy products and the delicate nature of food.
Amarillo’s central position and access to a multitude of transportation options make it ideally suited for distribution and logistics operations.
Market Access and Transportation Assets
Our mid-continent position makes transporting massive wind-generating equipment from California all the way to North Carolina, as Interstate 40 runs east and west. Interstate 27 is the thoroughfare to the north and south and with the vision of the Ports-To-Plains initiative, a direct route from Mexico to Canada passes through Amarillo.
Two mainlines of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway intersect at Amarillo, and provide direct service to many major US markets. These mainlines also connect Amarillo to the ports of Houston, San Diego and Galveston, conveniently enabling international access. This benefit is fortified by our Foreign Trade Zone status that helps local companies import/export more expediently and at a reduced expense.
