Wait, what? Stopping eastbound service from West Coast terminals is supposed to ease congestion with ocean carriers? Yeah, I don’t get it either.

Yes, this article isn’t very clear. What seems to be the issue is that Chicago is backlogged and trains are waiting days to get unloaded. That means they are sitting in Illinois rather than heading west to help the ports.
By stopping to flow into Chicago these trains will be able to load any containers from the Pacific coast that can go elsewhere than Chicago. That will help shift more containers per day than what they are doing now.

No room at the ports to tie up the container ships to offload (or onload) the containers going either way!
