The Journal of Commerce has rated Union Pacific as North America’s best-performing railroad for intermodal service in 2025 in its Intermodal Service Scorecard.
Union Pacific was ranked the best Class I railroad for performance in intermodal service in both the Journal of Commerce’s spring and fall surveys for 2025.
In the latest survey, which covers the second half of 2025, the railroad received “good” or “very good” ratings from 80% of respondents. Customers gave high marks to Union Pacific’s terminal gate processes for both inbound and outbound containers, as well as equipment availability.
Demonstrating Union Pacific’s strong intermodal service performance, the railroad continued to expand and enhance its intermodal service last year with new offerings, including the opening of its new intermodal terminal in Kansas City, Kansas.
Union Pacific’s intermodal network reaches more markets, more frequently than any other North American railroad. The railroad’s 32,000 miles of track provide access to intermodal ramps in growing population centers across the western United States.
In August 2025, Union Pacific announced a new domestic intermodal service product, connecting the City of Industry in Southern California to the new terminal in Kansas City. Also, during that same month, Union Pacific introduced a new, truck-competitive domestic intermodal service connecting Southern California’s Inland Empire to Chicago, significantly boosting its intermodal capacity.
In September 2025, Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern announced a new domestic intermodal service connecting Union Pacific customers in western and southern markets with Norfolk Southern’s modernized intermodal facilities in the Louisville area.
