G&W adds transload locator to website

Genesee & Wyoming Inc. has relaunched its website to include a new interactive transload locator that allows current and potential customers to identify transload, reload and warehouse facilities located within 150 miles of G&W's 113 short line and regional railroads in North America.

The new tool was designed to help businesses that want to improve their supply chain management by tapping into freight-rail economics, said Mike Webb, G&W's senior vice president of distribution services, in a press release.

"Potential customers along G&W-owned railroads who do not have a rail siding or are not located directly on the tracks can use the new tool to find the closest transload operation," said Webb. "Many G&W railroads have access to multiple Class I rail carriers, which gives customers flexibility with their transportation and transloading decisions."
