UP, CSX tout north-south intermodal route
Written by William C. Vantuono, Editor-in-ChiefUnion Pacific and CSX Corp. say they recently launched the industry’s fastest intermodal service between Detroit and Laredo, Tex., connecting the Upper Midwest and Canada to southern Texas and Mexico.
Using the UMAX container fleet for this interline service, the two Class I railroads say they deliver three days faster than the next best intermodal service, making fourth-day delivery to Laredo and fifth-day delivery to Detroit.
UP notes it is the only railroad with access to all six gateways into Mexico.
