Strategically positioned in the heart of the Midwest, the 1,017-acre Mid-America Rail Campus combines expansive, development-ready land with direct service from the Union Pacific Railroad, one of North America’s largest freight rail networks. With approximately 8,500 feet of rail frontage on the eastern edge of the site, businesses locating here benefit from seamless access to national supply chains and efficient connections to key regional hubs, including Kansas City, Topeka, Lincoln, and Omaha within 90 minutes.

As part of Union Pacific’s Focus Site network, the Mid-America Rail Campus is engineered to reduce uncertainty for companies looking to connect to rail infrastructure and accelerate their speed to market.
