WC Intermodal Connections ("Intermodal")
- Develop understanding/consensus on balanced freight commitment and other conditions necessary to add and support WC intermodal terminals.
- Leverage WI “sealed container” law for WC international traffic via WC intermodal terminals.
- Work for “sealed container” payloads for select, domestic WC intermodal.
- Connect WC intermodal terminals to the developing North American intermodal rail terminal network, with scheduled, balanced operations.
View, below, CSX's video introduction of its Northwest Ohio Intermodal Terminal - a state-of-the-art intermodal hub, potentially a new competitive "Gateway" for Wisconsin Central Region freight.
The competitive urgency is for our freight to have steel wheel intermodal connections to the emerging intermodal network constructed in recent years by CSX and Norfolk Southern. Direct connection for our freight through CSX's state-of-the-art intermodal hub is an outstanding goal for competitiveness of Wisconsin and Wisconsin Central Region products and jobs in our key markets.
