Inland Rail Transit Advisors
U.S. East Coast
Import Overflow Toronto – CN Brampton & Malport continue to be faced with a high volume of import
containers on the ground in turn causing need for additional lifts leading to higher wait times inside the
terminals to decongest. CN rail has been shutting loaded import containers that are customs cleared, not
temperature controlled and without a scheduled pick up appointment to Paul’s transport yard in Mississauga ON.
Charleston Chassis Shortage – Due to a continued shortage of available chassis in the Charleston
markets (Atlanta, Charleston, Jacksonville, Nashville, and Savannah) we are experiencing extended
delays in pick ups, deliveries, and drayage to/from the rail facilities.
U.S. Midwest
Barbours Cut and Bayport – Houston Chassis Shortage Chassis deficits continue to be reported on
a weekly basis due to ongoing congestion in the area. TRAC chassis can be utilized as our approved
secondary provider.
Chicago Chassis Shortage – Due to a shortage of available chassis in Chicago, we continue to observe
extended delays in pick ups and deliveries.
Chicago Rail Ramp Congestion – Bedford Park and 59th Street CSX Railroad has advised that
congestion remains an operational concern at the Bedford Park Facility in Chicago and the 59 th Street
Facility and is requesting further assistance in arranging pick up of dwelling units.
BNSF Limited Embargo – In response to significant ongoing service challenges, BNSF plans to issue a temporary permit embargo affecting some westbound traffic moving to destinations in California. This limited embargo will impact automotive shipments as well as specific agricultural and industrial
commodities. Intermodal shipments, which are being managed through alternate means, are not covered by this embargo. The embargo will take effect Monday, June 27, 2022 for waybills with a shipment date beginning Wednesday, June 29, 2022 and is currently scheduled to expire on July 31, 2022. This embargo applies to all commodities that are being shipped to destinations in California from the following states in the BNSF network: Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas. All eastern points of origin outside the BNSF network, which interchange through gateways located in the above states, are also included in this embargo. For affected commodities, BNSF will issue permits to embargoed destinations. Permit
requests must be submitted one week prior to desired shipment date. Customers can submit permit requests, as well as obtain more information, through vendor’s online form.
