Dear Intermodal Customer,
Effective August 31, 2009, UPRR will be consolidating our intermodal terminal operations in the Portland Region into our Brooklyn, OR intermodal facility.

The consolidation represents the first phase in UPRR'S overall commercial and operational strategy to take advantage of UPRR'S current Brooklyn facility and to provide capacity for future growth opportunities. Initially, UPRR will add an additional unloading track, three additional gate lanes and yard air; increasing capacity 45%.
