Interesting positive spin. All those trucks getting off and on the freeway, accelerating to speed, will likely create a nasty amount of pollution, not to mention trains accelerating with full loads. I’m sure a clever lawyer or two could make life painfully difficult for UP.

Any ideas? Also the BAX facility next to WalMart has closed as well probably due to NUMMI..it also generated a lot of truck traffic. So maybe net theimpact of a new UP facility will be minimal to the surrounding area. Also, it might help get truck traffic off of 880 coming from the Port of Oakland.
