October 31, 2025 -- NX Group significantly enhances the tracing capabilities of its digital forwarding service "e-NX Visibility" for US rail transport
NIPPON EXPRESS HOLDINGS, INC. (President: Satoshi Horikiri) has substantially upgraded the tracing functions of its digital forwarding service "e-NX Visibility" for US domestic rail transport and has begun offering these enhancements as of October 2025. With this enhancement, customers can now directly confirm, on "e-NX Visibility," detailed, real-time rail transport status across the entire process--from loading at the departure station to unloading at the arrival station--where previously only limited information such as the cargo's current location was available.

■ Progressive enhancement of e-NX Visibility's US rail transport tracing capabilities
Rail transport in the US has traditionally relied on trace data provided by shipping companies to ascertain the transport status of cargo once it has been unloaded at ports, so obtaining detailed transport history and real-time location information between the departure and arrival stations has proven challenging. The unavailability of timely information has also made it difficult to respond promptly to rail delays.
In brief
NIPPON EXPRESS HOLDINGS, INC. says it has expanded the rail shipment tracking functions of its e-NX Visibility digital forwarding service for U.S. domestic transport, with the new features available from October 2025. Customers can search using a container or bill of lading number and view a chronological shipment history from loading at the departure station through unloading at the destination. The information includes train arrival and departure times at intermediate stations, as well as loading and unloading milestones. The company says this builds on a system introduced in January 2025 that showed shipments’ current locations. The expanded tracking is intended to give customers more timely visibility into rail movements and support quicker responses to delays and logistics decisions.
Key takeaways
- Expanded e-NX Visibility functions cover U.S. domestic rail shipments from origin-station loading through destination unloading.
- Customers can search shipment information using a container number or bill of lading number.
- The service displays a chronological history, including train movements and cargo loading and unloading times.
- The new features became available in October 2025, following a current-location tracking system introduced in January 2025.
In January 2025, the NX Group introduced a system that enables real-time display of the current location of U.S. domestic rail shipments. Starting in October 2025, customers can directly view, on the "e-NX Visibility" screen, a more detailed event history for U.S. domestic rail shipments, including train departure and arrival times and cargo loading and unloading times.
■ Features offered by new functions
By using a container number or a bill of lading (B/L) number as a key to search transport status information, a shipment's entire transport history from loading at the departure station to unloading at the arrival station can be displayed chronologically in a timely manner. The system's data covers the time from the train's arrival to the completion of loading at the departure station, the arrival and departure times at intermediate stations, the time the train arrives at the unloading station, and the time until unloading is completed. This enables customers to monitor the status of their cargo on the e-NX Visibility screen in a timely and accurate fashion.
The NX Group is accelerating the digital transformation of international transport operations using information and digital technology to help customers visualize and optimize their full supply chains. This recent expansion of the Group's US domestic rail transport trace capabilities will permit greater transparency and faster decision-making in global logistics as the Group continues providing new value to its customers around the world.

Questions around this news
What new information can customers see about U.S. rail shipments?
The service now presents a shipment timeline spanning activity at the origin, stops along the route, and the destination. It includes train movements and cargo handling milestones, such as when loading or unloading takes place, so customers can follow more than a shipment’s latest reported position.
How can a customer look up a shipment in e-NX Visibility?
Customers can search using either the container identifier or the bill of lading number. The resulting record shows transport events in sequence, including train arrivals and departures at intermediate stations and the progress of loading and unloading at the endpoints.
How does the October 2025 enhancement differ from the earlier rail-tracking update?
An earlier system, introduced in January 2025, let users see the current position of domestic U.S. rail cargo. The October enhancement adds a more extensive event record, with timing details for train movements and cargo handling from the shipment’s origin through its destination.
Why is detailed rail shipment tracking useful to logistics customers?
The release says that limited or delayed rail status information has made it harder to react quickly when shipments are delayed. More timely visibility into a shipment’s progress is intended to help customers make decisions sooner and improve insight into their wider supply chains.
