The route runs from BNSF’s Hobart intermodal facility in Los Angeles to its Pearland terminal near Houston. It leverages the Southern Transcon corridor, ensuring rapid and predictable transit. This improvement allows companies to avoid highway delays while improving overall network efficiency.

BNSF Targets Growing Intermodal Demand

The service also benefits businesses moving freight from Dallas-Fort Worth to Houston by providing a direct, reliable alternative to trucking. By integrating this rail solution, shippers gain faster delivery, better predictability, and lower overall costs.

Industry experts see this move as a strategic response to rising intermodal competition. With companies seeking greener logistics solutions, rail offers both efficiency and sustainability. BNSF’s investment positions it as a leader in meeting these evolving demands.
