Categories: All Intermodal,Domestic Terminals,Streamline Door to Door
Posted Date: February 18, 2016

Dear Intermodal Customer,

On January 18, Union Pacific suspended empty ingates at our Brooklyn facility due to ramp congestion. We continue to experience intermittent congestion issues which impacts ramp fluidity. Today, the ramp is fluid and we are able to allow empty ingates at the terminal. Brooklyn, will accept empty ingates effective immediately. In anticipation of congestion and in an attempt to proactively direct empty equipment in the Portland area, Brooklyn, will stop accepting empty ingates on Wednesday, February 24, at 0600 PDT. When the ramp is fluid and able to accept empty returns again, Union Pacific will issue another customer announcement.

We appreciate your continued support and cooperation.

If you have any questions please contact your Union Pacific representative.
