OMAHA, Neb., July 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- It's something
rarely seen in the international shipping industry – a new startup.

carrier based in South Korea,
teamed up to move products from global shippers specializing in
electronics and appliances across the railroad's network. A new
Inside Track story published today on the company's website
outlines why this is good news for consumers.
"International intermodal is typically a mature business; we're
used to seeing long-term stakeholders, such as K Line and
Evergreen," said Union Pacific's Assistant Vice President of
International Intermodal Mark Simon.
"You just don't see a startup happen this quickly."
The article includes details about why SM Line is seeing success
