Union Pacific’s Conventional / Border Service is service to and from the U.S. — Mexico border. This ramp-to-ramp program operates between U.S. and Canadian intermodal ramps and utilizes two Union Pacific border gateways – El Paso and Laredo, TX. Intermodal Marketing Companies (IMCs) monitor the Customs clearance process at the border, eliminating the need for customers to do so and making the Customs process simple and efficient.
