Grain Cooperatives to Build Major Rail Loading Facility Near Spokane

Five grain cooperatives in Central and Eastern Washington will build a major rail loading facility on the West Plains to ship wheat on BNSF Railway lines. The $26.4 million project will protect existing shipping rates for growers in the region.

The facility will assemble 110-car trains for shipment on BNSF lines. In addition, the project is seeking government funding for 6.9 miles of short line track improvements from the facility to Cheney at a cost of $6 million.
