The development of a major new low carbon, multi-modal rail freight facility located in the heart of Scotland has taken a significant step forward with the laying of a private rail track to facilitate construction. Once complete, Mossend International Railfreight Park (MIRP) will provide 2.2 million sq ft of logistics space and Scotland's first 775-metre electric rail terminal.

[Plans are for 16 trains per day, two fully autonomous rail-mounted gantry (RMG) cranes,space for warehousing, container storage and HGV parking. -RS]
