UP Yard Center Drayage.
Union Pacific's Yard Center ramp sits in Dolton, at 147th Street and Indiana Avenue. 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.
