Today Governor Roy Cooper announced the launch of the Wilmington Midwest Express, the North Carolina Ports Authority’s daily direct rail connection to the Midwest via the Carolina Connector Intermodal Rail Terminal in Rocky Mount, North Carolina.
The new service will offer a key intermodal capability of expediting shipping containers to the Midwest, while also reducing customer transit costs and emissions.
The Wilmington Midwest Express will service a five-day connection to Chicago and Northwest Ohio and a seven-day connection to St. Louis, providing customers with unprecedented and reliable access to Midwest markets.
