FECR expands intermodal service in Central Florida

Florida East Coast Railway (FECR) is expanding its intermodal rail service into Central Florida to include next-day service to Fort Pierce on weekends. Previously, FECR provided next-day service to Fort Pierce six days per week.

Beginning June 6, 2015, shipments that arrive at the FECR rail facility in Jacksonville before 10:00 am on Saturdays will be available in Fort Pierce at 11:00 am on Sundays. “This additional day of service will allow retail customers to begin replenishment at store locations prior to Monday,” said Vice President and Chief Transportation Officer Will Costantini. “Additionally, motor carriers can take advantage of intermodal rail on weekends to meet their appointment times cost-effectively. We are pleased to offer more options for customers to reach destinations in Central Florida, and we recognize the time sensitivity of many of our shipments. We are committed to providing the reliability, flexibility and connectivity that companies need to manage their supply chains.”
