2005-06 – 2015-16 California State Rail Plan COMMODITIES SHIPPED The primary commodities handled by rail in California include bulk shipments of chemicals, petroleum, food products, farm products, primary metals, paper products, and lumber. These general carload commodities are less time sensitive than the high value cargo that tends to be shipped by truck and air. Overall, the general carload base business 7 for railroads has remained strong. This has prompted UP to make substantial investments in improving throughput at classification yards such as the $145 million upgrade of their Roseville Yard that opened in 1999. Increasingly, the railroads have been able to attract more time sensitive shipments using expedited rail intermodal service. This premium service allows trailers and containers the ability to move quickly on fast transcontinental routes with penalties assessed to the railroad if shipments are late. To capitalize on this growing demand, the Class I railroads have been building new intermodal yards. Among these are the UP’s facility in Lathrop and the BNSF’s Mariposa facility in Stockton. Figure 14E shows commodities originated and terminated in California for 2003. Mixed freight includes international containerized freight going through the Ports of Los Angeles, Long Beach, and Oakland, as well as domestic containers handled at both the UP and BNSF facilities statewide. Figure 14E Commodities Originated and Terminated in California for 2003 Tons Originated Tons Terminated Commodity Tons % Commodity Tons % Mixed Freight 30,556,904 47% Mixed Freight 22,365,760 23% Food Products 6,281,600 10% Farm Products 10,770,955 11% Chemicals 3,983,724 6% Food Products 10,195,697 10% Primary Metal Products 3,868,301 6% Chemicals 9,754,223 10% Glass and Stone 3,481,138 5% Primary Metal Products 7,022,910 7% All Other 16,646,695 26% All Other 38,017,000 39% Total 64,818,362 98,126,545 Source: Railroad Statistics by State, Association of American Railroads, 2003 7 General carloads include traffic in traditional railroad equipment such as gondolas, boxcars, hopper cars, tank cars, lumber cars, etc. By contrast, intermodal shipments, consisting of trailers and containers, travel on flat cars or “double stack” cars, where containers are placed one on top of another. Intermodal service tends to operate on tight schedules and have faster transit times compared to general carload business. 182
Chapter XV – Major Freight Issues CHAPTER XV MAJOR FREIGHT ISSUES GOCALIFORNIA GoCalifornia, is the Administration’s major effort to improve mobility and accessibility for people, goods, services, and information through a safe, integrated, multimodal, world-class transportation system that achieves the “3-Es” of a Prosperous Economy, Quality Environment, and Social Equity. A significant element of GoCalifornia is to invest in freight rail infrastructure in partnership with public and private sector interests to enhance the capacity of the freight rail system in the State to meet current and future demand for freight rail service. State participation in funding critical freight rail improvements that allow more goods to be shipped by rail will produce substantial public benefits from congestion relief on freeways, environmental benefits, and continued economic growth. GoCalifornia identifies the need to invest $50 - $53 billion in goods movement projects over the next 20 years, and includes the following examples of major freight rail projects to improve goods movement. • Upgrade Alameda Corridor East Through the Inland Empire. • Expand Port of Oakland Joint Intermodal Terminal. • Construct Additional Main Line Rail Track Through Cajon Pass. GOODS MOVEMENT ACTION PLAN The Goods Movement Action Plan (GMAP) is a key element of GoCalifornia. It is a two-phase process. The Phase I report is an attempt to characterize the “why” and the “what” of the State’s involvement in goods movement in the following four segments: (1) the goods movement industry and its growth potential, (2) the four “port-to-border” transportation corridors that constitute the State’s goods movement backbone and the associated inventory of infrastructure projects being planned or underway, (3) the extent of environmental and community impacts—as well as a description of mitigation approaches, and (4) public safety and homeland security issues. Substantial effort was focused on developing the inventory of existing and proposed goods movement projects. The listing includes previously identified projects in various Regional Transportation Plans (RTP) and Regional Transportation Improvement Programs (RTIP). In addition, the listings include a wide range of projects underway or under consideration by the ports, railroads, and other third parties. Prior to this compilation, no comprehensive statewide inventory of goods movement projects was available. 183
