Apr.17--THE Canadian National Railway has announced a steel-wheel interchange with CSX at Chicago which will give container imports moving over CN's network from Vancouver and Prince Rupert efficient access to Ohio Valley markets.
    "Our new interchange service will give CN's customers efficient and cost-effective access to CSX's new Northwest Ohio Terminal and to the important markets of Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and Louisville," said CN vice president Jean-Jacques Ruest.
    Before this, CN and CSX exchanged container traffic in Chicago by truck, instead of directly at railyard facilities.
    "Together, our interchange agreements with CSX and Norfolk Southern [NS] for container traffic moving over the Chicago gateway to northeast US markets underscore CN's commitment to improving the efficiency of supply chains," Mr Ruest said.
    CN spans Canada and mid-America, from the Atlantic and Pacific oceans to the Gulf of Mexico, serving the ports of Vancouver, Prince Rupert, Montreal, Halifax, New orleans, and Mobile, Alabama as well as Toronto, Buffalo, Chicago, Detroit, Duluth, Green Bay, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Memphis and Jackson, Mississippi.
