Dear Intermodal Customer,
 
This bulletin is a follow up reminder to announcement IM2016-202, dated May 23, 2016. Union Pacific continues to enhance its intermodal terminals. In recent months, our Portland (Brooklyn) Intermodal Terminal has been undergoing several structural improvements. We are pleased to announce that the Brooklyn Terminal will also be equipped with state-of-the-art technology systems, including an Automatic Gate System (AGS) with bio-metric recognition that will improve driver experience.
 
If your drivers have not participated in pre-registration at Brooklyn Terminal, please have each driver that enters the terminal stop into the help office. The pre-registration will record driver’s license information as well as biometric scanning. Drivers will also need their CDL# and SCAC code.
 
Pre-registration is available 24/7.  The process is very short and your drivers should not anticipate long delays. By registering early you can ensure that drivers move quickly through the gate when the system goes live in mid-August.

Thank you for your cooperation and commitment to Union Pacific Railroad.
If you have any questions, please contact your Union Pacific Business Representative.
Sincerely,
Intermodal Business Team
