Rail Port

Your Gateway to Domestic & International Freight 

Connect to the World — Right from San Angelo 

San Angelo’s Rail Port is a 180-acre multi-commodity freight facility designed to transform how regional industries move goods. The Rail Port offers seamless access to national and international markets via Class I and short-line rail, highway, and air connections.  

The Rail Port is strategically located near U.S. Highway 67 and Loop 306 and is just two miles from the San Angelo Business & Industrial Park.

Built for flexibility, the Rail Port supports transloading, warehousing, and shipping for a wide range of cargo and products, ranging from agricultural goods and construction materials to wind turbine components, petroleum-based chemicals, and steel.
