The Port of Long Beach (POLB) released a draft environmental study on its proposal to reconfigure and expand the Pier B on-dock rail facility.
POLB says the proposed Pier B On-Dock Rail Support Facility would allow for longer trains within the Harbor district to be assembled and shift more cargo to on-dock rail, moving cargo faster, while making operations more sustainable. The port says the project is critical to reach its Green Port goals, which includes a long-term objective to move 50 percent of all inbound cargo leaving the port by rail.
Comments on the study will be accepted through Feb. 13, 2017.
