The new Intermodal Container Transfer Facility (ICTF) which serves the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach has a geographic advantage over other major rail yards in that it is only 4 miles from the ports or a 10-minute truck trip, in comparison to other rail facilities located 25 miles further from the ports. The ICTF features 5 working tracks with 3 center-row parking areas for trucks, and the facility is 1.3 miles long and covers 146 acres. The paper provides information on the financing of the ICTF, its physical features, truck and rail access, and ICTF operations.
