Hey gang. In my last story, my train terminated in UP's Global III intermodal terminal in New Rochelle, outside Chicago.

This time around I want to team-up with BNSF, so does anyone know where & what their major intermodal terminal in the area is?

Sorry to just show up here, but I'm a Pennsy/CR/NS fan, but this seemed the logical location to ask a BNSF specific question :P

You have a choice of two. Corwith yard is a major intermodal hub, and serves as the northern terminus of the transcon. Cicero yard is along the Chicago subdivision (aka the "racetrack") stretching out along the south side of the ROW in the nearby suburbs of Cicero and Berwyn...

If it's a UPS train, it may stop on the ATSF at Willow Springs. From there is a short run to Corwith.

Now you can also add Logistics Park Chicago, which handles lots of doublestacks. Cicero is on the BN side, the other three (Corwith, Willow Springs, and LPC) are on the ATSF side.
