I'll start off with a disclaimer..... I seriously doubt this latest idea will get any traction, but the fact that they're talking about it is worth keeping an eye on it.

The PIR is talking about setting up an intermodal yard (think containers and trucks). An intermodal yard is huge. You need to have quite a few sets of tracks that are several thousand feet long, lots of space between the sets of tracks for the trucks and the cranes. Then you need more space for storage of containers and trailers.

I doubt the PIR will ever raise the necessary capital to build this. The other issue with this proposal is they want to build this yard somewhere between Plaster City and the Ocotillo area.

Here's a link to it on their website.
