FORT WORTH, TX–(EMWNews – August 19, 2008) – BNSF Railway Company today announced the
reopening of a rail-served building materials transload facility under the
management of Partners Warehouse, LLC, at Eola, Ill. Operating as Partners
Dimensional Services, the facility has received a complete track and
maintenance overhaul to better handle dimensional (oversized) materials
such as lumber, steel, and other building products. Security has been
upgraded and lighting added for continuous operations 24 hours a day, 7
days a week.
“This is the only yard of its type close to the growing housing market in
the western Chicago suburbs and with immediate access to major North/South
and East/West highways,” said Vann Cunningham, BNSF assistant vice
president, economic development. “Partners Warehouse’s knowledge of the
local market, combined with their experience working with lumber and other
building products, makes them the perfect choice to run the Eola facility.”
In addition to its proximity to Chicago and major highways, the facility
contains more than 12.5 acres of covered and open storage, trucking
services via Partners Transportation Services, and the capacity to handle
dimensional loads.
