Rio Grande Pacific Corp. (RGPC) Industrial Rail Services late last week announced a new partnership with McAlister Assets/RCR Rail Co.

RGPC Industrial will provide switching and transloading services for the 137-acre RCR Hempstead Rail Park in Hempstead, Texas, and the 755-acre RCR Taylor Rail Park in Taylor, Texas. The Hempstead park serves the west Houston area, while the Taylor park serves the greater Austin and central Texas areas. Services are expected to begin Oct. 1.

RCR Rail Co. develops and operates Class I-served industrial parks, offering transload, build-to-suit and design-build, rail-car storage, loop rail and manifest sites.

"We are proud to be a part of the RCR Rail Co. family and believe RGPC Industrial Rail Services can bring a host of value-added products to the partnership to help both companies grow," said RGPC Vice President Chris Stevens in a press release.

RGPC’s "30-year history with a tireless approach to improvement will bring flexibility to both park users," said Hydie McAlister, co-founder and partner of McAlister Assets/RCR Rail Co.
