Loading Trucks At Talleyrand Marine Terminal
6/19/2013
Strategically located at the southeastern corner of the United States, Jacksonville offers the best intermodal connections in the South Atlantic.
More than 55 million consumers are within an eight-hour truck drive of all three JAXPORT marine terminals, each of which is minutes from an Interstate highway. More than 100 trucking and drayage firms operate in and around Jacksonville's port to take advantage of the city’s highway system, anchored by I-95, I-10 and I-75. And with truck turn times at JAXPORT terminals averaging 23 minutes for two moves, shipping cargo through Jacksonville is extraordinarily efficient.
Jacksonville offers more than 36 daily trains via two Class I railroads – Jacksonville-based CSX Corporation (CSX) and Norfolk Southern (NS) – and one regional railroad, Florida East Coast Railway (FEC):
CSX provides port customers access to its 22,000-mile network that reaches 23 states and Canada;
NS operates approximately 21,000 route miles in 22 states and the District of Columbia, connecting port customers throughout their rail network; and
Florida East Coast Railway offers multiple daily departures servicing locations from Jacksonville to South Florida.
CSX provides on-dock rail at the Blount Island Marine Terminal. Talleyrand Terminal Railroad, Inc. provides direct switching for Norfolk Southern and CSX at the Talleyrand Marine Terminal. The facility is only minutes from FEC's intermodal ramp. At the Dames Point Terminal, JAXPORT is developing an intermodal container transfer facility, or ICTF, to add to JAXPORT’s comprehensive, on-dock rail transportation solutions.
