Everything about The Pacific Harbor Line totally explained
The
Pacific Harbor Line (PHL) was formed in 1998 to take over the
Harbor Belt Line (HBL). In 1998, the
Alameda Corridor was nearing completion, allowing a massive amount of railroad traffic from the largest harbors in the Western hemisphere:
Port of Los Angeles and
Port of Long Beach.
The train has 18 route miles with a web of 59 miles of track.
The PHL was formed to create a level playing field for shippers. Up to that time, the HBL was owned and operated by the major railroads in Los Angeles; the
Southern Pacific, the
Santa Fe Railway and the
Union Pacific. The PHL, in contrast, is privately owned by the
Anacostia & Pacific Company. It operates on tracks and facilities owned by the ports.
One of the problems with the HBL arrangement was that shipper could have problems getting their goods to or from the port depending on where an individual railroad's track ended.
The PHL hailed itself as a
neutral switching railroad that could reliably serve shippers at this large port complex. PHL handles 40,000 carloads of freight a year excluding intermodal traffic.
