The facility was commissioned in July 2007, and is the largest privately-owned container terminal in the United States.

Rail service to VIG is provided by Commonwealth Railway, Incorporated (“CWRY”), a Class III railroad that owns and operates a rail corridor between the terminal and the main lines of two Class I railroads. CWRY is a subsidiary of Genesee & Wyoming Inc. To ensure the VPA can fully utilize VIG rail capacity, CWRY’s marshalling yard in Suffolk, Virginia (the “Marshalling Yard”) must be expanded. 3. On January 6, 2016, CWRY applied for a Rail Enhancement Fund (“REF”) grant pursuant to § 33.2-1601 of the Code of Virginia (1950), as amended, to fund an expansion of the Marshalling Yard. In its application, CWRY proposed to design and construct two ~8,000 foot storage tracks north of the Marshalling Yard’s existing main line and storage tracks, and related utility relocation necessary for the construction of the storage tracks (the “REF Project,” as further defined in § 1.28).
