Premium train will run daily between City of Industry in
Southern California to Global 2 near Chicago
Union Pacific Railroad announced today that it is offering a new
domestic intermodal service that will cut transit time to three
days for customers transporting goods from Southern California to
the Chicago area.
The new service, which began April 28, will run daily from Union
Pacific’s intermodal terminal at the City of Industry in California
to Global 2 in Northlake, Illinois, located near the heart of the
greater Chicago metropolitan area.
“We are delivering the service we sold to our customers – and
we’re now able to do it faster,” said Union Pacific CEO Jim Vena.
“Our railroad offers 70-mph service, allowing us to compete for
business while reducing greenhouse gas emissions up to 75% for our
customers.”
The new product also will include faster freight interchanges
with other railroads for those trains bound for the Ohio Valley and
northeast U.S. destinations. In addition, the westbound service
from Global 2 to the City of Industry and Inland Empire Intermodal
Terminal will be offered as a premium train as well.
This is the second premium train Union Pacific currently offers
daily between Los Angeles and Chicago.
“We are excited about this new product, which is part of our
continuing effort to find new ways to meet our customers’ needs
while removing trucks off our nation’s highways and providing a
consistent, reliable product,” said Kenny Rocker, executive vice
president-Marketing and Sales.
