CenterPoint Intermodal Center
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
CenterPoint Intermodal Center is an intermodal freight terminal located in Elwood, Illinois. It is the largest inland port in North America.[1]
The Intermodal Center includes a 785-acre Union Pacific Railroad complex just south of Joliet and a 770-acre BNSF Railway complex further to the southwest.[2] The facility's location was formerly part of the Joliet Army Ammunition Plant. Construction of the Intermodal Center began as part of the Joliet Arsenal redevelopment effort after 2000.[3] The village of Elwood supported this with $150 million of TIF funding.[4]
