Savage Developing New Transload Terminal to Serve Las Vegas Market

The Savage Las Vegas, NV Transload will be located in Jean, Nev., and served by Union Pacific (UP). Based on the current needs of shippers in the region, Savage says it “anticipates moving various fuels and industrial commodities through the terminal, connecting supply chains by transloading freight between trucks and railcars.”

The Savage Las Vegas, NV Transload, the company says, “will strengthen the growing Savage Transload Network of rail terminals across North America and provide access to new markets for businesses throughout Las Vegas and Southern Nevada.” Savage, which is working with local authorities and agencies to advance the rezoning and permitting needs for the project, adds that it has “provided safe and reliable supply chain services in Nevada for many years,” including at its Elko transload terminal in Northern Nevada.

“The proposed Savage terminal near Las Vegas will reduce shippers’ logistics costs and support economic development for Southern Nevada communities by attracting investment from rail-centric industries,” said Savage Senior Vice President of Business Development Mike Miller. “By providing a cost-effective and environmentally friendly rail alternative to long-haul trucking, the transload terminal will also help reduce the number of trucks on the road.”
