Dear Committee members,
We are pleased to announce that Mr. Paul D. Borseth, Assistant Vice President – International Intermodal Marketing & Sales, Union Pacific Railroad, will speak to the committee on The Rail Network for International Container Traffic at 8:00am in the AmCham conference room on Wednesday, September 15, 2010.

DETAILS
Mr. Borseth of Union Pacific Railroad will discuss their rail network for international container traffic moving to and from the USA west coast as well as how UP's new intermodal facility in Chicago (Joliet Intermodal Terminal -Global 4) will expand UP's current central and western Chicago coverage to including the rapidly growing southwest Chicago area. JIT will provide access to all major traffic lanes, and is situated to take advantage of UP's fastest east/west service lane. In addition, it will benefit customers by reducing dray costs. UP operates North America's premier railroad franchise, covering 23 states in the western two-thirds of the United States. The railroad links every major West Coast and Gulf Coast port and provides service to the east through its four major gateways in Chicago, St. Louis, Memphis and New Orleans. Additionally, Union Pacific operates key north/south corridors and is the only railroad to serve all six major gateways to Mexico.
