FORT WORTH, Texas — BNSF Railway has delivered the first container loads to the vest-pocket intermodal ramp it opened in Oklahoma City for retailer Hobby Lobby.
The first containers from the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, Calif., were delivered to the 42-acre terminal on Dec. 31. Locomotive Engineer Dane Sargent and Conductor Kolic Edwards were in charge of the New Year’s Eve delivery, BNSF said on Monday.
In September BNSF and Hobby Lobby announced their terminal partnership, which aims to streamline the craft retailer’s supply chain and allow loaded containers to move directly from the Southern California ports to its network of distribution centers in Oklahoma City.

Other businesses will be able to use the facility for export to the West Coast.
