Dear Intermodal Customer,
Effective June 6, 2016 Union Pacific is making changes to the service for loaded shipments from Portland (Brooklyn), OR to Global 2, IL. These changes will improve operational efficiency and network fluidity.
Local traffic (traffic for out-gate service) currently moving from Brooklyn to Global 2 will have a destination ramp change. This traffic will now terminate at Global 1, IL for the Monday through Friday cut-offs. Under the revised plan, cut-off and availability times will remain unchanged.  Freight for Chicago local out-gate service requiring a Saturday cut-off may be billed to Global 2 for this one day.
Traffic moving to interline destinations will not be affected and existing schedules will remain in place and unchanged. There will also be no change to service for revenue empty moves; this traffic should continue to be billed to Global 2.
The current and revised schedules can be found in the link attached below.

If you have any questions, please contact your Union Pacific Business Representative.
Sincerely,
Intermodal Business Team
