Dear Intermodal Customer,
Union Pacific continues to see an increase in empty activity in the LA Basin which is causing significant ramp congestion.  In an attempt to maintain ramp fluidity and operational functionality, effective immediately, East LA will reopen for empty ingates.  East LA will remain open for empty ingates through March 31, 2015 at 23:59. We ask that customers preference East LA for empty returns when possible.
Also effective immediately, Montebello CY is temporarily not accepting empty ingates. Montebello will begin accepting empty ingates next Tuesday, February 24 at 06:00.  Moving forward, Montebello will suspend empty ingates each week from 06:00 Monday – 06:00 Tuesday.  Customers are able to return empty containers to LATC, COI and now ELA.  Customers are still able to outgate empty equipment from Montebello while it is closed to empty ingates.

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