Maximizing the Efficiencies of Boxcar Pooling

Announcement Number: IP2015-26

Posted Date: October 8, 2015

To Our Customers,
 
As boxcar demand continues to grow, Union Pacific would like to encourage others to join us in contributing all available boxcar equipment to the North American Boxcar Pool (NABP) to maximize the efficiencies of boxcar pooling.
 
The NABP supports shippers and railroads alike by providing consistent, quality equipment while reducing cycle time and improving utilization. With the continued increase in demand for boxcars and line space for new builds unavailable for near-term delivery, the NABP helps meet customer equipment needs.
 
Through increased NABP participation, we can together improve boxcar utilization, reduce network inefficiencies and meet growing demand.
 
To easily identify distributable equipment that may be reloaded on Union Pacific’s network without generating an adverse loading fee, check out our UP Distributable Tool (User ID and password required).
