A 300-acre rail hub near Dickinson will begin operating at the end of the month, according to Wichita, Kan.-based Lario Logistics LLC, which owns the facility.

Bakken Oil Express LLC will receive crude oil from the Bakken and Three Forks formations via pipelines and trucks. The oil will then be loaded into unit trains for further transportation to out of state markets, said Gerald O’Shaughnessy, chairman of Lario Logistics and BOE.

“In October we’ll accept more oil and by the end of October the project will be completed and we’ll be able to accept as much as the facility capacity at that point, which is 100,000 barrels a day,” he said.

The facility is located west of Dickinson on 115th Street Southwest and the Burlington Northern Santa Fe mainline.
