Union Pacific wants used car dealers to start shipping more of their cars by train.
So, the Omaha-based railroad has launched a new Web site and service called www.shipcarsnow.com.
The Web site offers tools for car dealers to use to ship cars either by rail, truck or some combination of the two.
Union Pacific already helps deliver new cars to dealers nationwide.
The railroad's automotive vice president, Julie Krehbiel, says the Web site should make it easy for used car dealers to use rail shipping. And having better access to rail shipping might make it easier to buy and sell cars over the Internet.
