01:57 PM EDT, 05/14/2024 (MT Newswires) -- Canadian National Railway ( CNI ) said Tuesday it has opened a new transload logistics facility in Michigan that is specifically designed for inbound train operations.

The first customer of the Flat Rock facility is Target Steel, which will convert part of its traffic from trucks to rail for steel coils, according to the rail operator.

"This resulting streamlining of operations and removal of a substantial number of heavy weight trucks off highways, is expected to reduce related greenhouse gas emissions by up to 75%," the company said in a statement.
