Amid discussion about a possible merger, BNSF and CSX today announced several new intermodal service products that will offer customers seamless, efficient coast-to-coast solutions for shipping between the western and eastern U.S.
New services will include:
- The introduction of new, coast-to-coast, direct domestic intermodal services between Southern California and Charlotte, North Carolina and Jacksonville, Florida
- In addition, a new service will also be launched between Phoenix, Arizona, and Atlanta, Georgia, aiming to convert over-the-road freight to rail through a seamless product between the two railroads.
- The introduction of new direct international intermodal services between the Port of New York and New Jersey, and Norfolk, Virginia, and Kansas City.
Between Phoenix and Flagstaff, two new 10,000-foot sidings will further support this growing market by enabling more efficient meet/pass operations on the route connecting to BNSF’s Southern Transcon.
The railroads said that further details about each of these new services will be announced soon.
