Rail that connects to CSX’s main line will allow for two unit trains each day (one inbound and one outbound) carrying up to 200 containers each.
Brian Taylor, chief executive officer of JAXPORT, Jacksonville, Fla., and Patrick Burgoyne, chief executive officer of Ceres Terminals, East Brunswick, N.J., signed the operator agreement for JAXPORT’s new on-dock rail facility—the Intermodal Container Transfer Facility (ICTF) at Dames Point.
Ceres Terminals will be responsible for managing the day-to-day operations and maintenance of the terminal. Commercial container operations are scheduled to begin in August.
