Harvey, Illinois

The south suburbs and CN Gateway

Harvey sits south of Chicago in Cook County, around US-6 and Halsted, with I-57 on its west side, the Tri-State (I-294) close by, and I-80 just to the south. Neighboring communities include Dixmoor, Phoenix, South Holland, Hazel Crest and Markham. The Calumet industrial area and Norfolk Southern Calumet ramp sit a short drive northeast, in the city of Chicago.

CN Harvey, also called the Gateway Intermodal Terminal, is a public Canadian National intermodal facility, listed in public directories at 16800 South Center Street, Harvey, IL. It is CN's main Chicago-area intermodal gate, and a ramp in the market we can pick up from or deliver to. Naming it is not a CN contract claim.

CN traffic into Chicago includes international containers off Canadian ports and domestic moves. For a shipper, the practical facts are the gate in Harvey, the last free day, and the drive from there to your warehouse. South-suburban and south-side Chicago docks are a short hop. A Will County or O'Hare-area warehouse is a longer I-294 or I-80 run, and we plan it that way.

From Mokena, I-80 east to I-294 or I-57 is the usual path. The work that fits Harvey is CN ramp drayage, deliveries into the south suburbs, connections to the Calumet area, and outbound Midwest trucking after a transload. If your box is actually at NS Calumet, that is a different railroad and a different gate in Chicago; we can plan that too, and it has its own note on the Chicago page.

As with every ramp we name, tell us the container, the last free day and the appointment. If the dock is not ready, we can talk about a pre-pull and a warehouse stop.
