“The Indiana Railroad partnered with CN to develop intermodal freight rail service in 2013 and has seen year-over-year growth ever since. This builds upon an already robust service provided by CSX. Rail investments have opened doors to new export opportunities with Asia, Canada, and South America. These opportunities have positively impacted Indianapolis’ ability to compete in a global marketplace and they are attracting new employers.”
