NS Calumet Drayage.
Norfolk Southern's Calumet ramp sits on Chicago's Southeast Side, near 106th Street and Lake Calumet. 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.
