Here are some aspects of Chicago’s intermodal connectivity that make it such an invaluable part of the supply chain:
Intermodal Facilities
Chicago is home to numerous intermodal facilities and rail terminals, operated by major Class I railroads such as Union Pacific, BNSF, Norfolk Southern, and CSX. These facilities enable seamless cargo movement between different modes of transportation, such as trucks and trains, which helps reduce transit times and improve overall supply chain efficiency.
Transportation Infrastructure
Chicago’s well-developed transportation network, including major highways like I-90, I-94, I-80, and I-55, supports its intermodal capabilities. The robust infrastructure ensures smooth connectivity between various transportation modes, streamlining the transportation process and enhancing the efficiency of intermodal supply chains.
Access to Ports
Although Chicago is not located on the coast, its extensive rail connections provide access to seaports on both the East and West Coasts, such as the Port of Los Angeles, the Port of Long Beach, the Port of New York, and New Jersey, and the Port of Savannah. This connection to global trade routes further strengthens Chicago’s intermodal capabilities and its role in global supply chains.
Warehousing and Distribution
Chicago’s logistics hub features numerous warehousing and distribution centers that cater to the needs of intermodal supply chains. These facilities enable businesses to efficiently manage their inventory, consolidate shipments, and coordinate the movement of goods between different transportation modes, further optimizing supply chain operations.
Domestic and Global Reach
Chicago’s intermodal strengths primarily support domestic supply chains, ensuring efficient distribution of goods to major markets throughout the United States. However, its access to major seaports via rail connections also enables businesses to participate in international trade, connecting them to global markets.
