Dear Intermodal Customer:

 As a result of reduced productivity at the ports of Seattle and Tacoma, WA, UPRR has embargoed international marine container movements from UPRR origins to both Tacoma and Seattle, WA. The embargo does not include TacSIM, WA.

Because UPRR midwest trains from Dallas and Houston, TX, Kansas City, MO, Omaha, NE (Council Bluffs, IA), Dupo (St Louis), IL and Marion, AR support both Domestic and International freight to Seattle and TacSIM, WA, shippers may encounter additional delays. We are hopeful that these issues will be resolved and service will return to normal.

Sincerely,

Union Pacific Intermodal Business Team
