Intermodal Rail Update
Stay up to date on industry rail news and insights.
Read our curated Intermodal Rail Update that provides you with pertinent information relating to our premier rail partners, Union Pacific, CPKC and CSX.
Below, you’ll find a brief overview of recent updates within our Intermodal network:
CSX Rail Update
- CSX is working through congestion and imbalance issues caused by a spike in seasonal demand on their network which has caused a slowdown in their traditionally strong service. Operations should be back to normal by the end of the week.
- Work continues on the Howard Street tunnel and CSX is targeting completion in late 2025. This will allow for double stacking along the I95 corridor and open new lanes for growth.
Union Pacific Rail Update
- The network has been steadily improving since October and is in very good shape coming out of the Thanksgiving holiday. Service has also rebounded to pre-peak levels.
- The railroad is adjusting Chicago to Denver routing to reduce the number of connections and improve scheduled transit by nine hours
CPKC Rail Update
- We continue to see truck competitive service between Chicago and Mexico on the Midwest Mexico Express (MMX).
- CPKC’s Holiday Train is currently traveling through Canada and the U.S. from now to 12/20. The Holiday Train aims to raise money, food, and awareness to support food banks along the CPKC Network.
