Canadian and US railroads join forces
Canadian National Railways (CN) and US class I railroad CSX will introduce a new intermodal service offering between CN’s greater Montreal and Southern Ontario areas in Canada, and the CSX-served US-ports of Philadelphia, New York, New Jersey and the New York City metropolitan area.
The intermodal service agreement will come into effect on 7 October 2019, according to a joint press release. This new intermodal offering aims to convert long-haul trucks to interline rail services. Trains will run directly into the heart of the metropolitan markets of Toronto and Montreal via CN intermodal yards, making this partnership a natural opportunity for both railroads. (ben)
