# Container Ingate Reservation

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.

### CSX

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.
