Western Railroad Discussion > China (?) to California via Chicago?Date: 08/16/18 07:59 China (?) to California via Chicago? Author: timz Page C1 of Wednesday's SF Chronicle: "Microsoft says it ships some California-bound computers through Prince Rupert and Chicago." No further info. Anyone know more about that? What other such examples?

Put the computers in a distribution center and ship to California from there. Could just be on going stocking loads with the transit time built in.
