# Intermodal Rail Tracking

Track cargo on Class I railways across North America, and track your containers across ocean and rail with a single request.

## Ocean + Rail With One Request

Most rail tracking providers force users to create separate transactions for ocean and rail. With Vizion, users can track containers across ocean and rail with a single request.

### Last Free Date + Available for Pickup Events

Reduce demurrage charges and boost efficiency with Last Free Date and Container Available for Pickup events at inland facilities, which typically offer fewer free days than maritime terminals.

### Gap-Free Container Tracking

Separate tracking requests create a gap that allows containers to get lost and start accumulating fees. One-request tracking with Vizion eliminates the gap and helps slash fees.

## Access Critical Inland Events

Free time is typically shorter at major inland facilities like Chicago, Memphis and Dallas than it is at maritime ports. Through Vizion’s direct connections to the 7 Class I railways in North America, you enjoy access to inland events like Last Free Date and Available for Pickup.

- **Leverage** Last Free Date events to avoid costly demurrage fees.
- **Use** Container Available for Pickup events to better coordinate drayage.
