Researchers are wrapping up work on a detailed two-year study of health impacts from pollutants emitted by trains, trucks and cranes at a massive rail yard bordering West Long Beach. The Intermodal Container Transfer Facility, or ICTF, moves about 750,000 containers annually through a roughly 150-acre facility on Willow Street just west of the city's border.
State of Florida, City of Jacksonville Join Port's Efforts to Attract Investment JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Oct. 31, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Jacksonville Port Authority (JAXPORT) today announced its application to the U.S. Department of Transportation for $25 million from the Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) Discretionary Grant for the construction of a $45 million Intermodal Container Transfer Facility (ICTF) at the Dames Point Marine Terminal. The balance of the funding -- $20 million -- would come from the State of Florida.
Plan is off the rails Re "Railyard expansion is debated at forum" \: I was at the railyard-expansion forum. It's great to hear all about modernization and greening of the facility, but Union Pacific's Intermodal Container Transfer Facility, or ICTF, is still a bad neighbor. One sticking point that irritated community members like myself was when a Union Pacific representative, speaking about truck emissions, said that they are in the business of rail, not trucking. So why doesn't Union Pacific want to reserve the right to use only environmentally friendly trucking companies? Does that mean that Union Pacific really is all about expansion and not caring about the environmental impact that its business causes to the residents of West Long Beach?
CSX hopes to make a Lackawanna rail yard a magnet for shipments that arrive at two East Coast ports and are bound for Canada. The railroad has debuted international services connecting its Buffalo Intermodal Container Transfer Facility to ports in the New York City and Philadelphia areas.
The BNSF proposed container railyard is going to bring gridlock to the Westside and the 710 Freeway downtown. They are proposing as many as 1.5 million trucks each year. The additional trucks, along with the 600,000 already going into ICTF (Intermodal Container Transfer Facility) will gridlock the freeways and city streets on the Westside. The trucks already back up one to two miles every time a ship is unloaded and containers are trucked to ICTF. With a total of 2.1 million trucks and with more than one ship being unloaded at a time, which can easily happen with multiple terminals, trucks going to the two container railyards will have to use both the 710 and Terminal Island freeways, as well as city streets in the Westside industrial area, the economic engine for the city.
