There is a LPG terminal that located there and gets service frequently

There is also an A&L scrap yard in the area that receives occasional service. I don’t know if they are connected to the old AFB.

There is speculation that the sand mine at Yuma may reopen. So far, there is no concrete evidence that this will happen. Just hearsay and rumor from railfans.
