From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway Co. said it would buy a fleet of new trucks to exclusively serve a rail yard that it wants to build inside the Port of Los Angeles.
Burlington said the plan was proof that the company intended to build the nation’s most environmentally friendly rail yard. Its planned Southern California International Gateway, to be built near an elementary school, faces several hurdles and hasn’t been approved.
Community activist Noel Park said the plan wouldn’t make the new yard any more palatable to neighbors.
