Union Pacific · Northlake
UP Global 2 Drayage.
Union Pacific's Global 2 ramp sits in Northlake, at Lake Street and Wolf Road, next to Proviso Yard. Cushing's owner operators pull containers from it for docks, warehouses and yards across Chicagoland, and move crosstowns between it and the other railroads' terminals. The work here runs from Cushing's Orland Park terminal; dispatch answers at any hour.
