Schneider's strategic rail partners

CSX updates

  • CSX will begin running double-stack service along the I-95 corridor in spring 2026.  
    • Double-stack will enable CSX to launch new services, and Schneider expects schedules to be available in the coming weeks. 

  • Jersey to St. Louis rail transits will increase by 32-36 hours between November 15 and January 15 due to a temporary network redesign that will shift the lane from the North Bergen ramp to South Kearny. 

Union Pacific updates

  • Union Pacific’s Tucson to Kansas City service will start in November 2025.  
    • Service will depart five times a week, with day four availability in Kansas City.  

    • At launch, the lane will only run to Kansas City, but there is potential to add a return lane. 

  • Union Pacific IEIT expects to add 100K annual lifts with the completion of an expansion project in November 2025, adding capacity to Chicago and through markets. 

CPKC updates

  • CPKC has released their 2025 Holiday Train Schedule. The Holiday Train visits communities across the CPKC network in Canada and the United States during November and December, collecting food and monetary donations and raising awareness for local food banks and food pantry organizations.  
  • CPKC expects SENASICA inspectors to be on-site at the new Americold facility within the IFG (Kansas City) terminal in the first half of 2026.  

    • This partnership will enable customs pre-clearance at the terminal, allowing previously restricted commodities, such as grain and pet food, to move cross-border via intermodal rail into Mexico.
