Need Start Point For Santa Fe Route Trains in Chicago Post Merger of BNSF

Trains Magazine General Discussion
1

Do all trains now originate out of Cicero or do some use Sante Fe Old Yard?

2

Corwith Yard is still used. Checkpoint Chico is a big originator and terminator of TOFC/COFC traffic for BNSF.

3

So whats the next yard or big industry after that?

4

I think Corwith is containers only. And Willow Springs is trailers only. BNSF has enough intermodal volume to do that.

5

And then you have LPC (Logistics Park Chicago) on the site of the old Joliet, IL Arsenal.
