Alameda Corridor It is estimated that Los Angeles and Long Beach harbors will have double the current volume of incoming ocean freight traffic by the year 2020. The Alameda Corridor, constructed to mean this traffic, is a 20-mile freight rail expressway running between the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach and the transcontinental rail yards near downtown Los Angeles. Half of the Corridor is the Mid-Corridor-Trench, a below-ground railway 10 miles long, 30 feet deep and 50 feet wide. It consolidated 90 miles of rail lines into a high-speed rail expressway, eliminating traffic tie-ups at more than 200 at-grade railroad crossings. The $2.4 billion project consolidate the operations of the Union Pacific and Burlington Northern Santa Fe railways. The Corridor is under the direction of the Alameda Corridor Transportation Authority.
