NS 47th Street Drayage.
Norfolk Southern's 47th Street ramp sits on Chicago's South Side, on 47th Street beside the Dan Ryan. Cushing's owner operators pull containers from it for docks, warehouses and yards across Chicagoland, and move crosstowns between it and the other railroads' terminals. The work here runs from Cushing's Orland Park terminal; dispatch answers at any hour.
