Western Railroad Discussion > Chobani / Clif Twin Falls, ID -- RR Served?Date: 11/17/18 16:50 Chobani / Clif Twin Falls, ID -- RR Served? Author: FiestaFoamer Just got done reading this story (about a year old) and was curious about any rail connections (figuratively or literally). I see on Google Maps that the Chobani plant in Twin Falls is very close to a RR line (Eastern Idaho RR?), as is the Clif Bar facility. Do EIRR/UP handle any shipments for these guys?

Author: spwolfmtn I do not believe (like most industries now days) that there are any rail connections, even though the tracks run right next to it.
I doubt they would use intermodal as well, because the trailers/containers would have to be trucked all the way to Salt Lake City for the nearest intermodal facility.

Author: callum_out Other problem is that most of the distribution centers (like DOT in Bullhead City) are nowhere near rail and would rarely take
carloads of anything. For Chobani, the inbound dairy, would all be local. I do believe that Jerome Cheese, down the road in Jerome, does use some rail out of the local distribution center. Out Date: 11/18/18 18:29 Re: Chobani / Clif Twin Falls, ID -- RR Served? Author: spwolfmtn callum_out Wrote:
