TRANSLOAD AND WAREHOUSES

The Transload and Warehouse program partners with selected logistics, trucking and warehouse firms to provide customers with efficient and cost-effective distribution and consolidation services. KCSR's and KCSM's TLC has the capacity to handle a wide variety of products and strives to become an integral part of our customers' supply chain by improving their economics and response time.

TLC offers a single bill door-to-door package that includes railcar, warehousing and trucking services.

Our goal is to meet or exceed your expectations, and furnish an easier alternative to ship your products.
