“Based on customer commitments, the Port of Vancouver will lease blocks of railcars to move products,” said Coleman in a press release. “This means more cars are available, reliability is increased and North Dakota farmers remain competitive in the global market.”
Coleman said westbound railcars will begin transporting agriculture from North Dakota as early as mid-September.
“This unique service would not be possible without the support of our partners in North Dakota, and we look forward to a long and productive relationship,” he said.
