Union Pacific Welcomes New Rock Terminal into Denison Rail Yard

A new destination terminal for aggregate is open for business in Union Pacific’s Denison Rail Yard in Texas, the product of two years of work and collaboration between Dolese Bros. Co. and Union Pacific Railroad.

Dolese, an Oklahoma-based construction materials company with roots dating back to before statehood, held a grand opening ceremony April 9 for the new facility that will import rock from Oklahoma into North Texas by rail.

“This terminal represents a significant milestone for Dolese as we continue to invest in infrastructure that supports long-term growth,” said Mark Helm, CEO of Dolese Bros. Co. “Our partnership with Union Pacific allows us to efficiently serve the growing North Texas market while strengthening regional supply chains that are critical to building communities.”

The new facility is a win-win for both Union Pacific and Dolese: it provides greater utilization of the Denison Rail Yard while allowing Dolese to reach new customers in the booming North Texas market.

“We are delighted to welcome Dolese to our rail yard in Denison,” said Jacque Bendon, senior vice president-Industrial Products with Union Pacific. “This project is a perfect example of what two companies can create when they come together in the spirit of collaboration and cooperation to imagine the possible.”

Union Pacific and Dolese worked closely with the City of Denison and local constituents to ensure transparency around the project’s growth opportunities, with both companies participating in an open house to give community members a chance to learn more about the project and ask questions.

Union Pacific is excited to continue building on this partnership and supporting the infrastructure and development needs of North Texas.
