Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern are set to launch a new intermodal service connecting Louisville, Kentucky, to various western and southern markets starting mid-October. This initiative aims to provide competitive transit times across sectors such as automotive, consumer goods, and healthcare. The service will connect Louisville with major cities like Los Angeles and Seattle, with interchanges occurring in Kansas City. Both railroads have invested significantly in infrastructure improvements to enhance efficiency and support growing market demands, while also preparing for a potential merger in 2027.
