EnergyPlex Park

In Lea County, there is a short-line run by the Texas and New Mexico Railway (TXN). TXN operates this freight service from a connection with Union Pacific at Monahans, TX to Lovington, NM. The rail is 85 pound. Traffic includes LPG, liquid asphalt, aggregate, cotton, scrap metal, salt cake, sand, sulfuric acid, and hazardous waste – about 15,000 cars per year.

Currently, the railroad does not extend into EnergyPlex Park, but it is less than two miles from the site and a spur could be built.
