Robinson Terminal
Robinson Terminal Warehouse LLC is a warehouse and logistics company based in Springfield, Virginia. The company has primarily handled newsprint for its owner, The Washington Post. It operated two deep-water berths alongside the Potomac River, one at the terminus of Oronoco Street, the other at the terminus of Duke Street.[1] A railroad spur served the Oronoco facility. Vessels heading to or from the berths passed under the Woodrow Wilson Bridge, sometimes requiring the bridge's drawspan to open.[2] In September 2013, the Washington Post Company sold the two waterfront facilities to real estate developers.[3]
The company also operates two warehouse facilities in Springfield, Virginia.[4] One of the Springfield warehouses is located along the Inner Loop of the Capital Beltway, and is frequently used as a landmark in local traffic reports.[5][6] The Springfield facility is serviced by Norfolk Southern Railroad. Another warehouse facility was located at The Washington Post 's printing plant in College Park, Maryland.[7][8][9] The College Park plant was sold to the University of Maryland in 2010.[10]
