Sierra Northern Railway is a leading provider of transloading services, connecting customers to major U.S. and global markets through efficient and reliable rail transportation.

Our transloading services include both bulk and break-bulk offerings, allowing customers to transfer goods between railcars, trucks, and other modes of transportation. We also offer unloading and loading services for a wide range of commodities, including grains, fertilizers, chemicals, and construction materials.
With our state-of-the-art facilities and experienced team, Sierra Northern Railway is committed to delivering safe, efficient, and cost-effective transloading solutions that help our customers stay competitive in today’s dynamic global marketplace.

On the Ventura Division, we currently transload lumber and mulch products in Santa Paula. As we continue to grow our operations in Ventura County, our team continues to actively seek out land to develop into a transload yard along the rail line and Highway 126 to give customers access to the Los Angeles region and beyond. Our successful experiences in Northern California afford us the ability to provide Southern California with the same cost-effective transportation of freight thereby lowering the cost of products for the end consumer.
