- The introduction of new, coast-to-coast, direct domestic intermodal services between Southern California and Charlotte, North Carolina and Jacksonville, Florida
- In addition, a new service will also be launched between Phoenix, Arizona, and Atlanta, Georgia, aiming to convert over-the-road (OTR) freight to rail through a seamless product between the two railroads.
- The introduction of new direct international intermodal services between the Port of New York and New Jersey, and Norfolk, Virginia, and Kansas City.
“These new, customer-focused service products will offer immediate value for customers by increasing flexibility and optionality, while delivering integrated service for freight moving across the U.S,” the companies said in a joint news release.
