What is Intermodal?
Intermodal is the transportation of goods by more than one form of carrier during a single journey. These carriers can utilize a combination of truck, rail and/or water, which are all coordinated and packaged by a third party and sold to the shipper or received as a simple door-to-door move. If you have a shipment that you would like to move Intermodal, we suggest contacting an Intermodal Marketing Company (IMC) or one of our truckload partners. These companies know our services, have pricing agreements with us, and will coordinate our rail move with local railhead-to-customer door delivery. If you do not know how to get in contact with one of these companies, please contact your local Norfolk Southern representative and they can provide you with additional details.
