BNSF, Maersk Line to offer new container service

Since the “slowdown”, BNSF and the shipping lines have combined trains from Los Angeles Harbor. It is good to see Maersk getting a dedicated train once again.

You ought to see some of these 10,000 foot monsters highballing it out of Los Angeles.

Interesting development. Check out their website “howwemoveyou.com”. Then pull up the “Intermodal Map Detail” map from the BNSF link and study the Chicago insert. There seems to be a significant gap between the BNSF route and the CSX route.

What is this exactly? Is this a section not now capable of doublestack clearance that is being improved? Studying the maps, it looks like NS would have been a better partner since connections look much easier.
