Riley explained that BNSF's service has always been outstanding. The change comes about because the Airport Authority wants to improve its position, he added.
This wasn't an arbitrary decision. In fact, the process to get to this point took two years, Riley said. The Airport Authority put the service out for bid and 12-14 organizations were represented at the preliminary bid. When it came down to it, though, the Authority received two official bids.

Patriot's service is good enough that there will be a seamless transition for the Park's customers utilizing the rail service, Riley said.

One thing about this agreement is that it sets nothing in stone, Riley explained. Patriot still needs to work out a deal with BNSF for access to the switch line. It works like this: Cargo comes in on the mainline and is put on the switch line, which is then used to direct cargo to the correct spot using the 5-miles of Airport Authority-owned railroad.
