Logistics Park Kansas City Intermodal Facility: Features & BenefitsBNSF Railway: A Transportation LeaderBNSF Railway is one of North America’s leading railroads, operating over 32,000 route miles of track in the western two-thirds of the United States and Canada, covering 28 states and two provinces.

As a global leader in intermodal transportation (the transport of truck trailers and containers by rail), BNSF delivers a wide variety of the domestic and international consumer goods in the United States, including appliances, clothes, computers, electronic products, new vehicles, packaged goods, paper products, televisions and much more.

Our partnerships with ocean carriers and trucking companies allow us to provide streamlined supply chain solutions to connect manufacturers and retailers to their markets. More than four million intermodal trailers and containers are transported each year on BNSF’s rail lines instead of on the nation’s congested highways. Just one BNSF intermodal train can take 280 trucks off our nation’s long distance highways.

LPKC Intermodal FacilityBNSF Railway’s newest state-of-the-art facility, LPKC Intermodal Facility, is ideally located in the nation’s heartland, and has been designed to accommodate the growing demands of freight rail transportation.

Advanced Infrastructure • 443 acres• 500,000+ annual unit capacity*• 48,000 feet of track (six 8,000-foot strip tracks)• 1,810 paved parking spaces• 4,300 container stacking spots• Five wide-span all-electric cranes

* 1.5 million unit capacity at full build-out

Superior Service LPKC is the only full-service facility in the western two-thirds of the United States offering the combination of:

• Domestic Intermodal Service – Container, Trailer, Expedited and Standard Service Levels• International Intermodal Service • Direct-rail / Carload Service

The Green Transportation SolutionRailroads are the most fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly mode of surface transportation. Freight railroads transport more than 40 percent of the country’s freight volume, but account for just 2.4 percent of all transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions.

BNSF Railway is an industry leader in driving more environmentally sensitive freight transportation solutions, including carbon footprint reduction and fuel efficiency. BNSF moves a ton of freight 480 miles on a single gallon of fuel.

LPKC is Environmentally FriendlyLPKC is built on BNSF’s decades of experience developing modern logistics facilities that are environmentally friendly. Before construction began, BNSF participated in an extensive environmental review process. Environmentally friendly features of LPKC include:

• Five all-electric wide-span cranes eliminate onsite emissions and reduce noise by:

• Eliminating the use of standard diesel cranes for loading and unloading containers

• Reducing the number of hostlers by stacking and moving containers

• Decreasing diesel locomotive use by reducing switching by spanning multiple, longer loading tracks

• Automated gate systems reduce idling, braking and utilize shutdown rules for the power units — providing optimal efficiency and enhanced security

• Welded / continuous rail and seamless pavement reduce noise

• Dark skylighting decreases glare and transient lighting

• Large conservation corridor will buffer noise and light

• Direct access to I-35 via the new Homestead Lane and Double Diverging Diamond Interchange reduces idling, braking and emissions
