As innovation continues to reshape our industry, rail transport continues to play a vital role in the LPG supply chain. This time-tested approach proves essential for areas lacking access to infrastructure, where the dependability and effectiveness of rail logistics are crucial.
TETL: A Leader in Transloading Excellence
At Twin Eagle Terminals and Logistics (TETL), we specialize in simplifying the challenges of transporting butane and other energy commodities with precision and care. Drawing on extensive industry experience, exceptional customer support, and fully customizable solutions, we prioritize safety, efficiency, and environmental responsibility —minimizing risks such as spills, damage, or loss while optimizing cost savings for our partners.
Rail terminals play a crucial role in keeping LPG prices stable for local and regional providers. They offer a cost-effective solution, as a single railcar can transport three to four times more product than a typical truck, helping reduce transportation costs and improve efficiency. This advantage is particularly critical in rural areas where the agricultural sector relies on a consistent propane supply. TETL’s facilities are designed with precision systems to track transloading volumes and ensure safe, efficient transfers between rail to truck and vice versa, streamlining every stage of the logistics process.
The Big Spring Terminal Advantage
Our flagship facility in Big Spring exemplifies our commitment to excellence. Spanning 500+ acres, this unit-train capable terminal is strategically situated in the heart of the Midland Basin. Key features include:
- Capacity: Over 600 railcar spots with potential expansion to 1,000+ spots.
- Efficiency: A common track and switchyard accommodating multiple unit trains simultaneously.
- Safety: Thoughtfully designed truck access to avoid crossings over the UP Main Line.
- Storage: This facility offers over 45,000 tons of vertical silo storage and warehouse space for dry bulk materials. With hundreds of acres of undeveloped land, it is perfectly suited for developing LPG tank storage solutions.
This comprehensive infrastructure solidifies the Big Spring terminal’s role as a critical hub for energy commodity transportation and storage, ensuring your business remains competitive and agile.
