Strategically located northwest of downtown Chicago, CP's intermodal facilities at Bensenville and Schiller Park near O’Hare Airport provide direct access to Chicago, northern Illinois, southern Wisconsin and eastern Iowa. 

Three major highways surrounding the intermodal yards help you move your cargo to its final destination faster.

Our live-lift at Portal, North Dakota, allows for even more efficient cross-border service between Western Canada and the U.S. Midwest.

We can lift single containers off trains for customs inspections rather than setting off entire railcars -- reducing inspection time and eliminating delays on non-targeted containers.
