Meanwhile, the locations are close to major markets and distribution hubs. At the same time, they are pre-certified for rail service. Separately, they receive end-to-end expertise from the Class I railroad. In addition, the sites are certified in partnership with Burns & McDonnell, a global engineering and construction organization. As CPKC said in its press release, those details apply to the certified locations.
