Located in Yaphank, adjacent to the New York & Atlantic(NYA)/Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) and the Long Island Expressway (Interstate I-495), Brookhaven Rail Terminal provides direct access to the northeast market, global ports, and the national rail network, according to OmniTRAX, the transportation and infrastructure affiliate of The Broe Group that operates 31 railroads, serving ports and industrial parks across the country. (See maps below.)
The terminal, recently rebranded as the Long Island Reload, is said to be “the first multi-modal rail freight facility on Long Island to provide rail-based shipping, warehousing and logistic services to the strategic seaboard market.”
“Long Island plays a critical role in northeast supply chains, and we are pleased to add Brookhaven Rail Terminal to the OmniTRAX rail network,” OmniTRAX Executive Vice President Nathan Brown said. Real-estate operating company “NorthPoint Development is building a vibrant rail-served industrial hub that can grow with the region, and we are excited to partner with them serve this dynamic domestic market.”
“We are excited about the industry-leading safety and service that OmniTRAX brings to the Long Island Reload,” added Andrew Villari, Development Manager for NorthPoint Development. “Location and efficiency are critical to our industrial customers such as The Home Depot and Heidelberg. OmniTRAX adds tremendous operational strength to The Long Island Reload’s unparalleled market access.”
Earlier this year, OmniTRAX became the exclusive operator of Port Muskogee’s Port Muskogee Railroad in Oklahoma, and teamed with Coast Belle Rail Corporation to run Santa Maria Valley Railroad in California.
