TNW Corporation, a privately held operator of short line railroads and logistics centers in Texas, currently provides industry rail operations for the Port Of Victoria and will continue assisting with the development of the TXLC / POV’s multi-phase rail expansion project. “Our strategic alliance with the POV continues to thrive. The addition of the Texas Logistics Center offers a strategic logistics advantage to businesses seeking to relocate operations in Texas, and TNW is proud to be part of the Port’s growth.” said Wade Hoffmann, TNW’s Vice President of Marketing and Sales.
Strategically positioned in a Foreign Trade Zone and Texas Enterprise Zone, the regional logistics hub is situated two hours from Houston, Austin, and San Antonio. With over 2,000 acres available for development and access to rail, water, and highway transport, TXLC provides strategic business opportunities in Texas.
TXLC will utilize the 35-mile Victoria Barge Canal, which leads to the Gulf of Mexico and is on the M-69 Marine Highway, connecting to other ports along the Texas coast.
