McKay TransCold, a 3PL providing multi-modal logistics solutions, announces its flagship service - "TransCold Express" - will launch as a dedicated, refrigerated train offering a bi-directional service between the California Central Valley and the Midwest.
Inaugural service will start in first quarter of 2014, with McKay TransCold operating a dedicated 50-car unit train between Selma, CA, and Wilmington, IL. The service will move refrigerated and frozen consumer goods and produce by the carload, truckload, or LTL via BNSF's newly refurbished fleet of refrigerated box cars. Each refrigerated box car holds up to four truckloads. Trains will depart from each location starting at one train per week and grow to two days of service as the demand grows. The trains will operate on a reliable schedule with the first departures slated for Wednesdays from California and Illinois.

Note that BNSF also already operates a block of refrigerated containers out of tiny Quincy, WA for eastern distribution.
