Railroads are the backbone of the supply chain—and partnerships are what keep that backbone strong. The collaboration between BNSF Railway, Norfolk Southern and The Northwest Seaport Alliance showcases how strategic coordination can deliver faster, more reliable intermodal service from the Pacific Northwest to Chicago. By expanding network capacity, investing in infrastructure and workforce, and working hand-in-hand with supply chain partners, freight railroads ensure goods keep moving—efficiently and sustainably—across the nation.
Exciting news on our northern corridor! BNSF and connecting partners Norfolk Southern (NS) and The Northwest Seaport Alliance (NWSA) have announced the collaboration of a 3-day faster service product for inland point intermodal (IPI) traffic from the Pacific Northwest, destined to and connecting through Chicago and beyond. The redesigned train plan will encompass the NWSA building trains in less than 2 days dwell off the dock. The seamless hand-off across our Northern Transcon route enables faster transit and better consistency for cargo shippers. The total time from ship to Chicago will be 6 days, the fastest from any PNW gateway in North America.
