Sometimes it’s easy to get lost when you don’t know your way…and sometimes it’s easy to get turned around even when you do! In both cases, it’s best to have a guide, one that knows the local terrain and can lead the way. Located in the crossroads of North America, Kansas City is a major center for international and domestic supply chain operations. Fully supported by its extensive rail and highway infrastructure, Kansas City is a central logistics hub location for intermodal activity providing shippers access to global markets through five of the Class 1 rail lines intersecting the region: BNSF, CSX, KCS, NS, and UP.
You can’t get where you want to go if you don’t know where to start!
In order to help global shippers navigate the in’s and out’s of the local KC intermodal rail geography we’ve put together this Ultimate Kansas City Terminal Guide. Here you will find rail and equipment depot information including locations, hours of operation, ocean carriers served, and more.
