Container Ingate Reservation

CN and CSX

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.

ShipCSX

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#)

CN

Before doing an RV#, please make sure Rail Billing is accepted.

Open the CN one website.
