Fast Lane opens Adelanto, Calif., depot    Fast Lane Transportation Inc., a provider of intermodal transportation and equipment services throughout California, has acquired an 80-acre intermodal crossdock and equipment depot to serve rail logistics providers, trucking companies and equipment leasing companies.
   The new facility in Adelanto sits just off Interstate 15, 30 miles north of the major intermodal rail hub in San Bernardino and about 100 miles northwest of the Los Angeles-Long Beach port complex,

   The new facility has three terminal buildings. Terminal 1 is a 99-door crossdock plus office. Terminal 2 is a 162-door crossdock plus office.
