Today, freight crossing the United States by rail loses 24-48 hours at handoffs between eastern and western carriers. Union Pacific and @nscorp are solving that problem: The combined network will create single-line service that moves America’s freight more efficiently, eliminating an estimated 2,550 rail car and container handlings and 65,000 car-miles each day. Faster service. Lower inventory cost. More predictable supply chains. youtube.com/watch?v=MT0bPK…
