Shuttle service is uniquely designed by Pride Intermodal, INC. for transportation of rail containers from one location to another at railyards, across the city of Los Angeles and San Bernardino, from one yard to another or just over a bridge to clear congestions on the trackside. This service is designed to support the rail service providers stay safe and efficient at their terminals.
Depending on the size of the ramp and the railroad’s loading processes, facility may require shuttling of full/empty rail containers offsite. If the ramp has space available, it is often possible to bring in a few units at a time to be stored until a full rail is ready to be shipped.
Railyards located near the Port that are dedicated to handling Port cargo. Unlike on-dock railyards, they serve more than one marine terminal and therefore tend to be much larger than their on-dock counterparts. Trucks are needed to move containers from the terminals to the near-dock railyards. The close proximity to Port operations usually eliminates the need to move containers by truck on regional highways. These yards are operated by railroad companies for use by their customers to pick up their containers for marine terminals and logistics companies.
