The Pegasus industry park and inter-modal transport hub and its unique national rail network linkages have far-reaching economic implications for development of the region’s resources, macro-clustering, national freight movements and cost competitiveness in the new world economy. Long-term commercial benefits of establishing the Pegasus Rail Project are difficult to quantify at this time but will undoubtedly be enormous.
