Rail ramp guide
ExpressRail Newark
PNCT's on-dock rail connection — inland boxes on and off the Newark piers without a cross-harbor dray.
- UIIA interchange carrier
- TWIC-credentialed drivers
- EPA SmartWay partner
- Certificates of insurance on request
ExpressRail Newark ties PNCT into the inland rail network on-dock. For shippers routing IPI through the Newark side, it means the box comes off the vessel and onto a train — or off a train and into our tractor — inside one footprint.
Operationally it inherits PNCT's rhythms: the terminal's live pages are the daily reference, and the rail clock runs faster than the marine one.
Ramp notes
- Coordinate recoveries against PNCT's gate systems — the ramp move is a PNCT move.
- Watch rail storage from grounding day; it accrues faster than pier demurrage.
- Export rail ingates must meet train cut, not just vessel cutoff — two clocks, both ours to watch.
How we run this ramp
We handle ExpressRail Newark recoveries and ingates as part of daily PNCT operations — same gates, same dispatch, rail rules applied.
