Could the new L.A. to Indy intermodal
service help your company?
There has never been regular intermodal rail service from the thriving West Coast ports to
Indiana...until now. A new partnership between the CSX and Union Pacific railroads has opened
a route from Los Angeles and Oakland to the CSX intermodal facility in Avon, Ind. The five-day-a-week
service started Sept. 29.
Central Indiana officials are now coordinating area shippers to determine if enough volume could
be committed to this service to justify a dedicated train that would significantly reduce shipping
time and costs for participants that normally see their cargo routed through the congested Chicago area.
