The service, which started on April 28, operates daily routes from the City of Industry in California to the Global 2 terminal in Northlake, Illinois, close to Chicago.
We are delivering the service we sold to our customers – and we’re now able to do it faster,” Union Pacific CEO Jim Vena said in a press release. “Our railroad offers 70-mph service, allowing us to compete for business while reducing greenhouse gas emissions up to 75% for our customers.”
The service aims to improve efficiency and speed, including quicker freight exchanges with other railroads for destinations in the Ohio Valley and the northeastern United States. The westbound service from Northlake back to Southern California will be treated as a premium service, enhancing the overall quality and reliability of the transportation.
