Union Pacific Railroad plans to open a new international intermodal terminal in Phoenix in first-quarter 2024 to connect ocean ports and points in the Southwest.
The terminal will be established in UP's downtown rail yard and feature capacity to grow to meet customer demand. The new service from the facility will enable customers to convert long-haul truck traffic to rail, saving 380 truck miles between the Los Angeles Basin and Phoenix.
"We are excited to offer regional shippers and receivers in Arizona a fast, sustainable rail option to move product into and out of Southern California that is cost competitive and removes trucks from our nation's congested highways, with an ability to expand offerings and grow in the future," said Executive Vice President of Marketing and Sales Kenny Rocker in a press release.
The terminal will open with drayage support provided by Duncan & Son Lines, a family-owned logistics firm in Buckeye, Arizona, that primarily focuses on international container drayage from the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles.
