First Intermodal Container Terminal Established in the Twin Ports
Has the opportunity to increase local economy
DULUTH, Minn. – Canadian National (CN) Railway and Duluth Cargo Connect announced Monday, a new alliance establishing the first rail-served intermodal container ramp in the Twin Ports of Duluth and Superior.
The Duluth Seaway Port Authority and Lake Superior Warehousing will team up to operate the new facility at the port’s Clure Public Marine Terminal.
This new terminal will transfer containers between rail cars and trucks, expanding connections to the Twin Ports.
As CN is the only railway in this market and provides direct services to the Gulf, Atlantic, and Pacific coasts, it will expand the Twin Ports’ connection, allowing for the import and export of goods across the world.
CN and Duluth Cargo Connect will begin serving import and export markets in March.
We will have more on this expansion coming up tonight on FOX 21 News.
