The Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company (/spacer.gif) and Matson Intermodal System, Inc. began operating a new intermodal train service in early November called the Pacific Coast Express. The new train service offers regular, twice weekly, fixed-day service for international steamship and commercial customers moving freight along the I-5 corridor between Los Angeles and Seattle.
The Pacific Coast Express service was introduced after Matson Navigation Company restructured its water-based Pacific Coast Service (PCS) from a weekly port-to-port service to this new container rail service. The added frequency of the new service is designed to allow customers more flexibility in scheduling their freight shipments. The Matson Navigation Company subsidiary, Matson Intermodal System, will manage the service.
