ATLANTA — Norfolk Southern this week ended restrictions on international intermodal service linking five of its Midwestern terminals with West Coast ports.
“We are instituting this customer-centric, operations-driven solution for shipments originating at Appliance Park [Louisville, Ky.], Cincinnati, Columbus, Cleveland, and Detroit, and we look forward to the positive impact these adjustments will have on the supply chain at large,” NS said in a customer announcement on Monday.
Previously NS restricted the in-gating of international containers at the terminals three days per week. An exception was the Columbus to Seattle service via BNSF Railway interchange at Chicago, which was restricted on Sunday and Monday.
The lifting of restrictions covers containers bound for interline service with BNSF and Union Pacific and includes destinations in the Pacific Northwest, Northern California, and Southern California.
