The northern gateway to and from Wylie is now home to a huge automobile parking lot which will be used by CPKC, one of six Class I railroads in the United States.

The 30-acre site was originally part of a Kansas City Southern and NorthPoint Development plan to create a 2.4 million square foot warehousing and distribution complex which would become Wylie Logistics Park, on 220 acres of land at the frontage of Highway 78 adjacent to David L. Starling Wylie Intermodal Terminal.
