Access to the BNSF Logistics Park—Chicago |
| |
Combine your intermodal, automotive, distribution and warehousing facilities in one convenient industrial park located on BNSF’s premier rail routes from Chicago to the West Coast. BNSF’s Logistics Park – Chicago operates as a distribution hub, streamlining both inbound and outbound transportation through the Chicago area, instantly connecting you to major national and international markets.
BNSF Logistics Park - Chicago (LPC) is a state-of-the-art freight logistics center designed to integrate direct rail, truck, transload and intermodal services with distribution and warehousing in one location. Located just 30 miles south east of Chicago, LPC is the new national model for freight logistics services.
LPC is part of BNSF's economic development strategy for creating strategically-placed Logistics Parks that work to integrate multiple modes of transportation at central sites. This gives customers options, and having options means having flexibility. Logistics Park advantages include:
- Greater Efficiency Centrally located facilities create greater efficiencies for shippers.
- Considerable Cost Savings Locating distribution centers near transportation hubs creates considerable cost savings. Because 60% of distribution costs are transportation related, we estimate the shippers save as much as $1 per square foot annually.
- Competitive Transit Times Rail transit times are equal to truck, with prices often 25% lower.
- Differentiated Services BNSF offers shippers different speeds for different needs, with some of the fastest rail routes connecting major markets.
