Savage officials say they hope their new CPT Chicago Transload terminal at Canadian Pacific's Bensenville, Illinois, yard will help address a critical supply-chain need for the construction industry.
The terminal provides direct access to rail lines and major Chicago highways including Interstate-294, I-290, I-355 and the Elgin O’Hare Tollway (I-390).
That location is convenient for Chicago area businesses to transload lumber and building materials between rail cars and trucks, Savage officials said in a press release.
"Construction industry supply chains have been severely constrained, but this new transload terminal will help optimize supply chains and reduce expenses for storing and transporting lumber and building materials in the Midwest," said Savage Vice President of Business Development Dan Price.
The CPT Chicago Transload terminal is part of the growing Savage Transload network of about 50 multicommodity, rail-connected terminals across North America operated by Savage, and the first developed in coordination with CP.
