BY RAIL, RIVER, ROAD, & SKY
Columbia Business Center is unique in offering the full menu of transportation alternatives, including rail, barge, and third-party logistics providers to meet all types of inbound and outbound demands for moving products.
These are just a few of the benefits:
Rail
+Mainline Connection
CBC is served with a rail spur directly connected to the Burlington Northern Santa Fe mainline along the north side of the property.
+Here to Serve
Railcar delivery within CBC is provided by an on-site team that can be responsive to any unusual requests and requirements, and your overall business needs.
+Fast and Efficient
Twice-a-day rail switching at CBC provides a faster turnover of inventory and increased operational efficiency, along with lower demurrage charges from Burlington Northern Santa Fe due to an expedited turnaround of rail cars.
+Maximizing Resources
Predictability of switching within two four-hour switching segments in eight hours allows for more productive scheduling of resources and the possibility of a reduced footprint.
+Options
CBC offers the ability to store or queue rail cars on-site and provide inter-building rail car switching for businesses that may occupy more than one building at CBC.
Barge Slips
+Water Highway
River access facilitates the movement of products that are too large to be trucked or shipped by rail.
+You Ship
You will experience no red tape or interference as CBC's barge slips are private and do-it-yourself in nature.
+Good Capacity
Two barge slips accommodate river and ocean-going vessels up to 400 feet. Outside storage capacity near the barge slips allows for simplified staging and storage.
