Highway to Rail conversions deliver bottom line results

CSX Transportation has found that 96% of shippers have sub-optimized freight in their network.

Is your supply chain missing a vital link?

If your supply chain underutilizes intermodal rail – a transportation solution that offers cost savings and diversifies your access to capacity solutions – then your company could be paying the costs of a sub-optimized freight network. This occurs when truck transportation is used where an intermodal solution would be more efficient and sustainable. Enhancing your modal mix with the incorporation, or expansion, of intermodal rail can help reduce your supply chain’s exposure to risk factors.


Optimize your modal mix with highway to intermodal rail conversion.
