* Commodities listed by a railroad directory; may not be the operator’s full range. Railroads are from the railroads’ own network directories where published; † = nearest line on the federal rail map, not confirmed by the railroad.
Operators: claim or update your listing · post railcar storage capacity
Listings are compiled from published and public sources and are provided for reference. Steel Wheel Logistics does not own or operate these facilities, and a listing does not imply a commercial relationship. Confirm capabilities and availability directly with the operator. Commodity lists here are not exhaustive. Some are drawn from railroad network directories that record broad categories, and many operators publish nothing at all — an empty or short list means we have no record, not that the facility cannot handle your freight. If your commodity is not shown, ask them, or ask us and we will find out.
Planning a move through Montana?
A listing is a starting point, not a vetted option. Tell us the lane and the commodity and we will shortlist the transloads that actually handle it, confirm capability and availability with the operator, and price the move — that is the rail department we run for shippers who do not have one. See our rail transload services, or talk to us about your lane.
Prefer to keep looking? The full Transload Directory puts every facility we track across all regions on one map, which helps when the right site is not in the state you started in. Or run an indicative estimate with the Rail Rate Quote tool — the estimator is indicative and we will talk through your lane before quoting. Need indoor storage on rail rather than outdoor bulk transfer? See the rail-served warehouse directory.
