TGB Group Partners with TXGN on Railcar Storage Expansion
TGB Group has been collaborating with Texas Gonzales & Northern Railway (TXGN) on the expansion of their railcar storage yard in Gonzales, Texas. This project is designed to increase capacity and operational efficiency, further enhancing TXGN’s ability to serve its growing client base.
Our role involves providing comprehensive survey, design, and construction oversight services to support the development of additional yard tracks. Once completed, this expansion will add 400 new car spots, meeting the needs of a recently secured TXGN client.
To ensure timely delivery, TGB has implemented a phased approach, delivering updated design specifications weekly to enable construction to progress rapidly. This method has significantly accelerated the project timeline, cutting more than 45 days from a traditional schedule.
Key Project Highlights:
- Over 30,000 feet of new track
- 19 turnouts
- Improved drainage for the entire site
- Access roadway design
- Enhancements to existing drainage systems
- Development of a master plan for future yard expansions
This project reflects TGB Group’s commitment to providing efficient and cost-effective rail solutions tailored to our clients’ needs. Our ongoing partnership with TXGN demonstrates our dedication to fostering long-term relationships and delivering innovative design and development services.
