Scott Anderson, vice president at Lee & Associates of Illinois LLC, represented the CN railroad in the acquisition of 16.5 acres in Joliet. CN will expand its Joliet yard by building an intermodal ramp.
The new intermodal ramp will give import/export customers better access to Chicago area distribution centers. CN expects to offer daily west coast service starting June 2013, with transit times of approximately 100 hours between the west coast and Joliet.
