CN and CSX rail terminals have their own storage yards for empty containers that are used by SS lines, so they act both as a Rail Terminal and as a Depot.
Both CSX and CN require a reservation number (RV#) each time a driver ingates empty or loaded container.
In order to secure a reservation number, dispatchers must use the respective rail terminal website to request a reservation number so that the driver is not denied entry at the gate.
In order for CSX to accept a container return, a reservation number (RV#) must be made.
To make RV# at CSX, Rail Billing has to be accepted by the rail terminal.
Select Terminal, Enter Container number, and Click Search.
The RV# will need to be sent to the driver by SMS (and entered in TZ mobile app)
Example of trying to get an RV# with no Rail Billing (without the Rail Billing the system will not let you do the RV#)
Before doing an RV#, please make sure Rail Billing is accepted.
Open the CN one website.
Select Reservation Request
Enter Origin (choose from the list below):
Chicago CN
Detroit CN
Indianapolis
Enter Origin Ingate Date, and Click Submit.
Origin Ingate Date must be the next date on which the RV# CO is expiring at indicated time.

Always check the box to send a confirmation email to dispatch.
Select Send a confirmation email to: so an email will be received with the RV#.
When copying the Booking Number, ensure that no trailing white space is selected, or is deleted after pasting.
Copy/Paste Booking Number (verify no extra spaces at end of booking number). Click Submit.
