BNSF Railway is proposing a new 1,000 acre
logistics center park between Sanger and Valley View. A
logistics park is a fully permitted development designed to
help customers more easily reach DFW and surrounding
markets via new rail-served sites. Like other BNSF Logis-
tics Centers, customers can save nine months or more of
development time and expense.
The proposed facility near Sanger will feature
sites for customers who wish to ship via individual rail-
cars and a unit train site for customers who ship entire
train-loads. The available sites are customizable to meet
customers’ needs. In addition to gaining access to the
BNSF network, businesses that locate near Sanger will
have access near 1-35.
“Establishing logistic centers, is the latest way
we are working to make sure new, existing and potential
customers who want to locate on rail in a densely popu-
lated, growing industrial market have the option to do so.
By purchasing and developing land in advance, we can
help our customers save time and money when they are
looking to expand or relocate their facility,” said Colby
Tanner, assistant vice president, economic development.
BNSF Logistics Centers focus on offering direct
rail service in multi-customer, multi-commodity business
parks. BNSF invests directly in the development of the
facility to create sites in under-served, strategic, end-user
markets. These facilities can service carload, unit train
customers, or both. To learn more about BNSF’s Premier
Parks, Sites and Transloads Program, visit bnsf.com/
rail-development.
The proposed site will be located from Lone
Oak Road to County Road 2411 and South, past Chisam
Road, on the east side of 1-35. BSNF is currently in the
process of negotiating with land and home owners for the
project. A public meeting was held Tuesday night at the
Valley View High School Ag Building, hosted by Precinct
2 Cooke County Commissioner Jason Snuggs and Cooke
County Judge Jason Brinkley. They wanted to provide
information to the public, since there were several rumors
about the project.
Snuggs started off first by saying, this proposed
project is not going to be a “rail yard”, but a logistics cen-
ter. He said a meeting was held at the end of the summer
with Denton and Cooke County officials, Denton County
Economic Development, City of Sanger and Sanger Eco-
nomic Development and the City of Valley View. At that
meeting BSNF announced that they wanted to build this
new logistics center. The 1,000 acres would be located
in two counties, 60% Cooke and 40%. It is estimated to
cost 500 million and around 40 million to buy the land.
The project is in Valley View’s ETJ, as well as Sanger’s.
BSNF is hoping the City of Sanger will can annex the
property purchased and provide utilities, since it will be

This is a rendering of the latest BNSF Logistics Center in Hudson, Colorado. This center is on 450 acres.
The one being proposed near Sanger will be around 1,000 acres.
near the Wal-Mart Logistics Center and R&L Carriers
Trucking Company, according to Snuggs. Valley View’s
utilities are not close enough, currently.
A similar project was proposed in another county
in the State of Texas and BNSF wasn’t able to purchase
the land needed for a logistics center and the project never
got off the ground. Land and home owners within and
around this proposed project near Sanger, were concerned
with imminent domain. Snuggs said BNSF doesn’t have
a history instituting it, although they legally can 2-miles
in from the railway. He said they want to be good neigh-
bors and pay above market value. He said this project is
in the preliminary stages and the negotiations are moving
slow with the land owners. “From what I understand,
no offers have been made by BSNF. They are just asking
owners what they would sell their home and land for,” said
Snuggs.
Around 50 people showed up for this meeting and
most were concerned about the negative impact of this
