Pacer Stacktrain expects UP to resolve network problems soon

Pacer Stacktrain expects UP to resolve network problems soon    Pacer Stacktrain, one of Union Pacific’s largest customers, said UP services affected by the severe mid-January storms are starting to get back to normal.
   The intermodal company added it expects network problems to be completely resolved within weeks.
   “UP’s intermodal trains are beginning to move on a daily basis between the Los Angeles Basin and the Midwest — some on Burlington Northern Santa Fe tracks and some via alternative UP routes,” said Tom Shurstad, president of Pacer Stacktrain. “We anticipate based on current information that the UP will have largely resolved its storm-related network problems on the hard-hit south-central corridor within weeks.”
