Strategically located at the southeastern corner of the United States, Jacksonville, Florida offers the best intermodal connections in the South Atlantic. More than 33 million consumers are within an eight-hour truck drive of all three JAXPORT marine terminals, each of which is minutes from an Interstate highway. More than 100 trucking and drayage firms operate in and around Jacksonville's port to take advantage of Jacksonville's highway system.

JAXPORT terminals are also serviced by three Class I railroads, including Jacksonville-based CSX Transportation (CSXT), Florida East Coast (FEC) and Norfolk Southern (NS):

• CSXT provides port customers with access to its 23,000-mile route network that reaches 23 states, the District of Columbia and two Canadian provinces - Ontario and Quebec.
• Norfolk Southern has a 21,500-mile route network. The railroad now has eight through freight trains in, and nine out of Jacksonville daily. Additionally, NS operates six yard trains per day in the Jacksonville area.
• Florida East Coast Railway offers intermodal service between Jacksonville and the Florida cities of Fort Lauderdale and Miami on six southbound and four northbound scheduled trains.

CSX provides on-dock rail at the Blount Island Marine Terminal. The Talleyrand Marine Terminal has on-dock rail facilities run by Talleyrand Terminal Railroad, Inc., which provides direct switching for Norfolk Southern and CSX. The terminal is also only minutes from FEC's intermodal ramp.

To move your cargo faster on the terminal, JAXPORT continues to modernize its equipment. At its Talleyrand terminal, JAXPORT recently added two 95-foot wide Rubber Tired Gantry Cranes (RTGs) and four new on-dock railroad spurs totaling 4,800 linear feet.
