BNSF and Union Pacific Intermodal, Logistics Park Chicago, and the I-80 Distribution Corridor:
Logistics Park Chicago in nearby Elwood is the largest inland intermodal facility in North America, with BNSF Railway handling millions of container lifts annually at the site. Union Pacific's intermodal yard and the dense concentration of Amazon, Walmart, IKEA, Sysco, and national retailer distribution centers along I-80 and I-55 make Will County the freight staging capital of the Midwest. Container One's proximity to these operations means shorter delivery lead times for distribution and logistics buyers throughout the Will County market.
