Robinson Terminal

Robinson Terminal Warehouse LLC is a warehouse and logistics company based in Springfield, Virginia.[1] Founded in 1939 by Clarence J. Robinson,[2] the company primarily handled newsprint for The Washington Post, its owner until 2013. Robinson operated two deep-water berths alongside the Potomac River, one at the terminus of Oronoco Street, the other at the terminus of Duke Street.[3] 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.[4] In September 2013, the Washington Post Company sold the two waterfront facilities to real estate developers Nash Holdings.[5]

The company also operates two warehouse facilities in Springfield, Virginia.[6] 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.[7][8] 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.[9][10][11] The College Park plant was sold to the University of Maryland in 2010.[12]
