TexAmericas Center, home to one of the nation’s largest industrial parks, has added two new locomotives in a $3.15 million push to expand logistics and rail services. Funded in part by a $1.5 million Defense Economic Adjustment Grant, the upgrade replaces aging engines acquired in 2021 and strengthens connections for tenants, including those serving the Red River Army Depot.
