Northern Shenandoah Valley Virginia rail sites are within 500 miles of two-thirds of the U.S. industrial base

DENVER & WINCHESTER, VA – OmniTRAX, one of the fastest growing railroads in North America and an affiliate of The Broe Group, is bringing its Rail-Ready Sites program to the Winchester & Western Railroad (WW) in Virginia. The Rail-Ready Sites program connects rail-served properties with customers looking to maximize supply chain efficiencies.

Located along the rapidly growing Interstate 81 corridor, the location is within hours of more than 100 million people, it has a great workforce to draw from and has very business-friendly state and local governments,” said Ean Johnson, CEcD, Vice President of Industrial Development at OmniTRAX.

“Frederick County’s transportation infrastructure and proximity to major markets has proven to be advantageous for advanced manufacturers, allowing them to get products to market quickly and efficiently,” said Patrick Barker, Frederick County Economic Development Authority Executive Director. “The County has a strong manufacturing base, which includes employers like KraftHeinz, Trex and Rubbermaid.
