CN and CSX yesterday announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding to develop a new intermodal service into Nashville, Tennessee.
The service will provide customers with a seamless, all-rail alternative for international containers moving from Canada’s West Coast gateways through Memphis directly into Nashville, CN and CSX officials said in a joint press release.
By replacing the current trucking leg with a steel-wheel interchange, CN and CSX will be able to deliver faster, more reliable and more sustainable supply-chain solutions for shippers, they said. The all-rail solution will reduce truck traffic on highways.
"Collaboration like this benefits everyone — railroads, customers and communities — by driving growth, reliability, optionality and sustainability," said CN Interim Chief Commercial Officer Janet Drysdale.
The agreement with CN is the second new intermodal arrangement that CSX has announced with a fellow Class I in the past few weeks. Last month, CSX and BNSF announced several new, joint intermodal service solutions to ship freight between the western and eastern United States.
