CN has opened its new intermodal terminal at Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin.
The terminal was opened with a ribbon cutting ceremony attended by Governor Scott Walker.
The terminal offers twice weekly train service with fifth morning availability from the west coast for intermodal containers.
Located on 8.5 acres of land at CN’s Chippewa Falls Yard, the terminal features a 2,500-foot-long intermodal loading and unloading track plus an onsite grain transfer facility.
“This terminal gives companies in the Upper Midwest direct and efficient single-rail-line access to new North American and global markets via our continental network as well as the ports we serve on the Pacific, Atlantic and Gulf coasts,” said Jean-Jacques Ruest, CN executive vice-president and chief marketing officer.
“Today we are moving consumer products from world markets to Chippewa Falls, and providing the region growing opportunities to export grain and manufactured goods.”
