The TEMCO rail expansion project at Washington’s Port of Kalama has secured a $26.3 million grant from the Federal Rail Administration’s CRISI Program. TEMCO, a joint venture between CHS Inc. and Cargill, operates the facility, which exports grains, oilseeds, and wheat to Asia-Pacific markets. The project will add over 25,000 feet of track to improve efficiency by up to 30%, allowing for continuous ship loading without repositioning railcars, which currently causes seven-hour delays. improved rail infrastructure would expedite export processes for farmers across the Pacific Northwest and beyond.
