Two challenges, one route

Two Midwest export challenges we help you solve

Long freight train across the U.S. Midwest

You ship long direct routes to multiple destinations

Sending separate shipments from Mexico to each Midwest destination multiplies your freight cost and the complexity of every delivery.

Freight train through green farmland with wind turbines

You're asked to report on sustainability and can't

Your board and your customers demand lower emissions, but your current setup gives you no measurable data to prove it.

One route, six services

One configuration connects your Mexico-to-U.S. route

Intermodal rail freight

Long-haul movement combining truck pickup, rail line-haul and truck delivery — fewer handoffs, lower per-mile cost.

Boxcar transport

Covered boxcar capacity for product that doesn't fit a standard container — strong fit for paper, food, plastics and consumer goods.

First- & last-mile freight

Truck pickup at origin and delivery at destination so your rail leg arrives door to door, not just dock to dock.

Port handling

Drayage and equipment positioning across cross-border and inland ports, integrated with the rail plan.

Chicago hub (optional)

Consolidate at our rail-served Chicago facility and fan out to Midwest destinations — optional, only when it lowers your cost.

Real-time data

GPS visibility, milestone updates and emissions data — the verifiable inputs your customers and board are asking for.

Sustainability

Lower-footprint routes for your long-haul cargo

Moving your cargo by rail cuts CO₂ emissions by up to 60% compared with trucking, giving you verifiable data to answer the customers already asking for a cleaner supply chain.
