Advanced Railroad Yard at Port of Los Angeles to Boost Cargo Flow
The $73 million railroad expansion project completed at Pier 400 in the Port of Los Angeles is designed to improve cargo flow, reduce emissions and enhance road safety. The project, which began in 2021, includes 31,000 feet of new railroad track, a concrete bridge and other infrastructure improvements. The expansion is expected to eliminate 1,200 daily truck trips by 2040. Additionally, the project is anticipated to create greater railroad capacity at the container terminal of APM Terminals and increase the port's competitiveness.
