UP gains operating lease to Tacoma port's intermodal yard

Union Pacific recently won a contract to provide service at the Port of Tacoma, starting later this year from a 10 acre site that could expand to 25 acres in the future.

This will allow Uncle Pete to shift some of its Argo Yard activity down to Tacoma, which will free up space to do more International business in Seattle.

TCRY Serves New Transload Facility in Richland

View Map of Richland

The Tri-City & Olympia is a feisty little railroad. Not only do they operate on both sides of the Cascade mountain range, but they have also been known to solve their problems with creative solutions.

Adding to their credentials, TCRY is now serving a new Richland transload facility, which connects with both UP and BNSF. A spectrum of Eastern WA products and produce is stored and then loaded on railcars from this new site. TCRY's connection on the Puget Sound allows those products to travel the miles on a Class 1 and then get loaded onto ships in Olympia.
