TEMCO at the Port of Kalama, WA
The Port of Kalama will invest $5.9 million in rail expansion that, combined with an investment by port tenant TEMCO LLC, will double rail capacity at the TEMCO site, the port’s board of commissioners decided this week. The project was awarded to Chehalis-based Railworks Corporation for construction beginning on Jan. 7 and scheduled for completion by June.
The project consists of the construction of lead and yard tracks, associated grading and drainage improvements, as well as utility relocations, the port said in a news release. The work will include installation of 3.6 miles of new track and relocation of 1.1 miles of track.

The Port of Long Beach has begun a testing phase with its Freight Advanced Traveler Information System (FRATIS) Demonstration Project, which aims to improve freight traffic and communications, air quality, and boost container volume in participating test ports within the next 20 years.
Funded by the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) Research and Innovative Technology Administration (RITA), the FRATIS Demonstration Projects has partnered with public and private organizations to streamline the information flow between trucks and port terminals using Bluetooth proximity-reading technology.
The freight communication system will grant port drivers the opportunity to reroute or reschedule according to the real-time information they receive.
