Tri-Cities Intermodal terminal opened
The new intermodal ramp in Wallula, Washington State (USA), has moved its first loads to the Northwest Seaport Alliance's Port of Tacoma. They comprised 270 t of hay grown locally for export. The facility is served by Union Pacific Railroad (UP) and will have an initial capacity of 75,000 lifts annually, with plans to significantly expand as traffic materialises.
While agricultural export is the first market served, there are also opportunities for imports from the ports and long-haul domestic traffic to and from the Midwest and East Coast in the USA.
The terminal, owned by the newly founded company Tri-Cities Intermodal, will be operated by Remprex, which also designed the plans and oversaw the construction. (ben)
