YAPHANK, N.Y. — OmniTRAX has been named the rail operator of Brookhaven Rail Terminal on Long Island, N.Y.
The terminal, recently rebranded as Long Island Reload, serves commodities, aggregates, and building materials industry customers including The Home Depot, Heidelberg, and LBM Riverhead.
“Long Island plays a critical role in northeast supply chains, and we are pleased to add BRT to the OmniTRAX rail network,” OmniTRAX Executive Vice President Nathan Brown said this week. “NorthPoint Development is building a vibrant rail-served industrial hub that can grow with the region, and we are excited to partner with them to serve this dynamic domestic market.”
The Long Island Reload is the first multi-modal rail freight facility on Long Island to provide rail-based shipping, warehousing, and logistic services.
Located off the New York & Atlantic Railway and the Long Island Expressway (Interstate I-495), Brookhaven Rail Terminal provides direct access to the northeast market, ports, and the national rail network.
“We are excited about the industry leading safety and service that OmniTRAX brings to the Long Island Reload,” said Andrew Villari, development manager for NorthPoint Development. “Location and efficiency are critical to our industrial customers such as The Home Depot and Heidelberg. OmniTRAX adds tremendous operational strength to The Long Island Reload’s unparalleled market access.”
OmniTRAX operates 31 railroads, serving ports and industrial parks across the country.
