BNSF Railway and CSX Transportation announced the launch of new intermodal service options designed to give shippers seamless, efficient coast-to-coast solutions.
The expanded offerings include direct domestic routes linking Southern California with Charlotte, North Carolina, and Jacksonville, Florida, as well as a new service connecting Phoenix, Arizona, and Atlanta, Georgia. The latter aims to shift freight from highway to rail through a smooth handoff between the two railroads.
On the international side, new direct intermodal services will connect the Port of New York and New Jersey, and Norfolk, Virginia, with Kansas City. To further support growth, BNSF will also add two new 10,000-foot sidings between Phoenix and Flagstaff, improving efficiency on its busy Southern Transcon corridor.
“This collaboration between BNSF and CSX demonstrates the power of partnership, delivering greater flexibility, efficiency, and value for our customers,” said Jon Gabriel, BNSF Group Vice President of Consumer Products.
Drew Johnson, CSX Vice President of Intermodal Sales and Marketing, added, “Together, we’re opening access to key markets and strengthening options for our mutual customers.”
