This terminal is one of four BNSF intermodal terminals in the Chicago area. The others are Cicero in Cicero, IL, Willow Springs in Hodgkins, IL, and Logistics Park in Elwood, IL. Interstate 55 provides access to Corwith.\u00a0 This facility lies slightly outside of the I-90 corridor (three miles from centerline).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bnsf.com\/communities\/bnsf-and-the-environment\/green-technology\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BNSF<\/a> has modernized Corwith\u2019s gate system to increase facility throughput, reduce truck idling, and improve air emissions by fifty percent. These updates include installed new intermodal gate technology using digital cameras to record images of the containers, chassis, tractors, and unit numbers as they enter the intermodal facility. In addition, drivers are identified using a biometric system.<\/p>\n<p>This TOFC-COFC facility is on a spur of the BNSF Chillicothe Subdivision. Norfolk Southern has trackage rights over the Chillicothe. This terminal is part of the CREATE series of projects to improve rail flows through Chicago. A connection will be built to allow connection between BNSF Cicero and Corwith Yards. The projects are listed as WA4 and WA5 on the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.createprogram.org\/projects.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CREATE website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Each BNSF intermodal terminal has its own function within the system, though operations are linked. For example, crews for Logistics Park Chicago, Willow Springs, and Corwith start and end at Corwith.<\/p>\n<p>CRW is also located on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.corridorsofcommerce.com\/explore-the-corridors\/great-northern\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BNSF\u2019s Corridors of Commerce<\/a>, specifically the Great Northern and the TransCon Corridors.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/midamericafreight.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/access-bnsf-corwith.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4783\" title=\"access-bnsf-corwith\" src=\"http:\/\/midamericafreight.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/access-bnsf-corwith.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"699\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Intermodal Connectors<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Kedzie Avenue<\/li>\n<li>Pulaski Road<\/li>\n<li>41st\u00a0Street<\/li>\n<li>47th\u00a0Street<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Intermodal Lanes<\/h2>\n<p>This facility handles approximately 80 percent domestic intermodal and 20 percent international traffic.
