Port Houston, the nation's fifth largest container port by TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units), extended its reach well inland in June with the addition of intermodal container service by both Union Pacific Railroad (UP) and BNSF Railway.Union Pacific launched its new service options from the port's Barbours Cut Container Terminal on June 1. Now, containers can be loaded directly onto Union Pacific railcars and transported to Denver; Salt Lake City; Oakland, Calif.; Los Angeles; and El Paso, Texas. The new service originating from Barbours Cut eliminates the need to truck containers about 30 miles to the nearest rail facility. |
