Investing in first and final mile solutions
To boost its efforts to convert flexible freight to rail, Norfolk Southern is purchasing the Great Lakes Reload (GLR) property, a direct rail and truck-served transload and warehouse facility located in Chicago, USA.
The GLR site has an outdoor rail capacity of 175 cars, a climate-controlled 35,860 sqm warehouse with 13 overhead cranes, 18 indoor rail spots, and indoor box car docks.
GLR serves Chicago and its surrounding markets and will continue to operate the facility and support operations for Norfolk Southern. This long-term strategic partnership will help to grow Norfolk Southern's first mile and final mile rail traffic into and out of its Great Lakes Terminal, the US class I railway said. (ben)
