Pacer announces new intermodal services to and from Chihuahua, Mexico

Pacer International, Inc. has announced the expansion of its Mexico Direct (Intermodal/Double Stack) service between Chihuahua, Mexico and key markets within the US and Canada.

The service, which began operations on August 29, 2011, will operate five days per week to and from the Chihuahua market. The service utilises Ferromex and Union Pacific networks.

Pacer will support the new service by providing equipment from a fleet of more than 18,500 high cube intermodal containers and a newly established chassis pool located at the Ferromex rail ramp in Chihuahua.

"We have further expanded our Mexico services with the addition of Chihuahua, Mexico. Our customers are now able to improve their supply chain performance and the security of their products by eliminating the need to truck finished goods and production parts to/from the US-Mexico border. Many years of intermodal service to and from Mexico make Pacer the leader in cross-border transportation," said Mike Burns, Chief Commercial Officer.
