Description

To handle the increasing volume of piggy-back freight, Union Pacific Railroad has opened an intermodal freight terminal in Omaha, according to W. J. Fox, UP vice president of operations. The terminal, located on the old Union Station passenger yard, has two parallel tracks with a capacity of 32 cars, and allows quick pick-up and set-out by train crews. Trailers are loaded and unloaded circus-style, with a portable ramp, and especially built tractor for power.
