Great video on the operations of the Intermodal terminal. I always wondered how all these facilities work and this is quite fascinating to me. Thank you Union Pacific workers, all of the truckers, and the container ships for moving our cargo safely.

Love intermodal trains!!

Nice video! More EMD Power I see. My Favorite!! I would love to see one done on an autorack facility. It would be cool to see how they are handled.

Without profit, safety is guaranteed... because you'll be at home, laid off, as the company goes out of business. Without safety, there is no profit... as unsafe work environment lawsuits, increased worker's compensation insurance premiums, and bad PR from an unsafe work environment drive the company out of business.

It would be nice if you could make the Kansas City facility that clean and paved

Nice

I remember when Alliance shippers decided to go through Union Pacific for a while. Long story short, the reefer trailers were sitting on train cars for up to three or four days in Portland and they would run out of fuel before they were grounded. If I never deal with that shit hole yard again it'll be too soon

I don't mean to step on anyone's toes, but would it possibly be more efficient to have another 3rd party operating the entrance and exit points for the truck, along with yard coordination?

Tanner Robinson Many intermodal facilities are served by only one Class I railroad (UP, BNSF, NS, CSX, CN, CP, KCS) -- at those facilities, there's zero competition on the rail side of things, and UP operating this one in the video means there isn't a 3rd party operator to compensate (apparently it more than makes up for the fact that UP needs to maintain the facility).

@royreynolds108

Жыл бұрын

That just increases costs without any value.

Recently got a job as a ground worker/hostler driver, outside drivers get very annoying vary fast. The 3rd party drivers never know where to go and just kinda drive around aimlessly. Get in our way a lot, and nearly cause accidents because they don't know our yard and hit a bump going way too fast. The actual UPS drivers (our yard is shared by UPS) are alright because they're here all the time, but they still like to act like they own the yard

It's the same in Portland while trailers and containers are handled on Union Pacific with one of its intermodal trains through the Cascade Mountains in Oregon. BTW I'm doing a stack train on UP's former Southern Pacific on MSTS Train Simulator between Klamath Falls and Eugene, but the equipment is of Canadian origin.

Usually the crane weights it, at least at the site I visited in germany. A built in scale allowed for precise measurements to protect other equipment and the crane itself had the winch torque limited to prevent it from any structural damage. For any loads up to 120t the operator would receive a warning. For any load exceeding 120t the crane would refuse to lift the load and go into emergency shutdown. Same was true for the reach stackers. There was no precision scale built in, but they all had safety equipment preventing them from tipping over. Basically the pressure on the rear axle was measured, when low the speed was limited and when dangerously low only possible operations where to put the load back on the ground.

Cindy all containers should be weighed especially if they are scheduled to be trucked out. In major industrial or warehouse tracts there should be a gas station or a truck stop that weighs the containers themselves for a small fee to ensure a receipt is printed out so if you are pulled over before your next customer there is proof that after you left your previous warehouse there was documentation the weight was under the legal maximum.

@hostilepancakes

jomax clux Agreed. Even with fuel costs cut out, trucks will still be less efficient than rail for distances greater than 600-750 miles -- simply because a single freight train can pull over 150 freight cars (300 containers if the line allows double-stack trains) with a crew of only 2-4 people. Also, for trucks going from Southern California to Chicago, the speed advantage is very small, if any -- BNSF runs its freight trains on the Hutchinson Main at 70 mph(!). Another corridor where trucks have minimal speed advantage is along I-80 in Nebraska, between Gibbon and North Platte (the Kearney Sub, aka the Triple Track Main). Overall, UP narrows the trucks' speed advantage between Laramie, Wyoming and Chicago to a minimum.
