Union Pacific Launches New Truck-Competitive Domestic Service from Los Angeles to Chicago<\/b><\/p>\n

New Intermodal Service up to 20% Faster Than Current Industry Options<\/i><\/p>\n

OMAHA, Neb.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nUnion Pacific Railroad will launch a new, truck-competitive domestic intermodal service connecting Southern California\u2019s Inland Empire to the heart of Chicago, significantly boosting intermodal capacity. Beginning Sept. 3, this innovative service enhances the seamless connection from the Los Angeles Basin’s most active warehouse district through Union Pacific\u2019s Inland Empire Intermodal Terminal (IEIT) directly to Chicago’s Global 2 Intermodal Terminal.<\/p>\n

\nCustomers will experience up to 20% faster intermodal service compared to current industry offerings between these key locations, with three days’ transit. The service will start at five days a week with the ability to increase with growth.<\/p>\n
