Railway Tracks for a Tamaulipas State Government Logistics Park
We designed and built the tracks for the Pyme Logistics Industrial Park, a Tamaulipas State Government project for small and medium-sized businesses. Our scope included:
- Design, engineering, executive project and permits.
- Earthworks and drainage.
- Track construction and connection to the main track with an insulated AREMA No. 11 switch set.
- Aluminothermic welding and stress relieving.

| Type | Logistics park with a cross dock warehouse |
How the Track Was Designed
The track was designed so that trains enter the park and run directly to a cross dock warehouse. A cross dock is a warehouse where cargo moves from the railcar to the truck without being stored.
- Connection to KCSM: direct to the network’s second track, with a BNSF-UP No. 11 switch set.
- Access track to the cross dock warehouse.
- Short inner siding to receive loaded cars and deliver empties, connected with a Conrail No. 10 switch set.
- Materials: 100 lb/yd welded rail, concrete ties with RNY fastening and AREMA No. 4 limestone ballast.

It is a warehouse where cargo moves from the railcar to the truck without being stored. At the Pyme Laredo Logistics Park, the access track runs directly to the warehouse so the transfer is immediate.
Through a direct connection to KCSM’s second track, now CPKC, by means of a BNSF-UP No. 11 switch set. The access track to the warehouse starts from there.
It allows loaded cars to be received and empties to be delivered without blocking the access track. It is connected with a Conrail No. 10 switch set.
Yes. This park is a Tamaulipas State Government project. We handled the design, engineering, executive project, permits and track construction.
