OMAHA, Neb. — Union Pacific will launch domestic intermodal service between its Inland Empire terminal in California and its Global 2 terminal in Chicago on April 1.

“This service will provide access from the Los Angeles Basin’s busiest warehouse district direct to the heart of the Chicago metro, supplementing existing service between IEIT and Global 4,” UP said in a customer advisory this week.

The service between the Inland Empire and both Global 2 and Global 4 will be available to all domestic container shippers, the railroad says.

UP is offering priority service with four-day transit times eastbound and six-day transit times westbound, and standard service featuring six-day transit times. The services will run daily.
