NWSA loads first 10,000-foot train
Channel: The Northwest Seaport Alliance
Date: 2017-11-08

The Northwest Seaport Alliance recently loaded our first 10,000-foot train out of the North Intermodal Yard in the South Harbor. We’ll now be running daily trains up to 10,000 feet in length, carrying a variety of cargo from household goods to automobile parts to Chicago and the Midwest. Previous trains departing from our facilities were typically 6,000 to 7,000 feet long. Our investments in the rail system improve efficiency throughout our gateway and take hundreds of trucks off the roads every day.
