BNSF Responds to Growing Intermodal Demand at Port of Houston

As part of our continued commitment to adjusting to our customers’ and the marketplace's needs to enable growth and the efficient movement of shipments, BNSF is expanding our network of lane offerings with new intermodal service options from the Barbours Cut Container Terminal at the Port of Houston. Taking advantage of the live lift capabilities and other expanded capacity and technology advancements at our Alliance, Texas Intermodal Facility, this new on-dock terminal rail option will serve the greater Dallas/Fort Worth and Denver markets.

Service will begin to be offered to/from the Barbours Cut Container Terminal to our Alliance, Texas Intermodal Facility, as well as from Barbours Cut to our Denver Intermodal Facility, beginning Friday, June 2, 2023. This new service offering supports greater supply chain efficiency and is made possible due to BNSF’s continued focus on providing access to key markets and enhanced service capabilities for our customers.

Based on vessel arrival, these new intermodal service schedule updates have the potential to increase in frequency to meet growing intermodal demand at the Port of Houston.
