This is an odd statement.

Railex appears to be privately owned.

Andy Pollak, Railex owner and CEO, said the project would not have been possible without Ste. Michelle.

The intermodal facility at Port of Quincy was first built with the idea of shipping containers to/from Seattle in sort of an "inland port" concept. They built the facility without getting a buy-in from BNSF for this concept. Note that Quincy is only 160 miles from Seattle.

When they couldn't get BNSF interested after the facility was built, the port went looking for a tennant. Cold Train is the result. Of course, the traffic all flows east from Quincy, rather than west as in the original vision!
