Norfolk Southern selects Pennsylvania site for regional intermodal facility

NORFOLK, Va. — Norfolk Southern will construct a new intermodal terminal in Greencastle, Pa., to serve the Mid-Atlantic region, the company said. The facility will form part of the railroad’s multi-state Crescent Corridor initiative to establish a high-speed intermodal freight rail route between the Gulf Coast and the Northeast.

The $95 million facility, at which freight moving in containers and trailers will be transferred between train and truck, will occupy a 200-acre site adjacent to the planned Antrim Commons Business Park and is expected to open in late 2011.

Wonder how CSX feels about this, they got a yard off exit 14 there in Chambersburg. Actually, one of the nicest railyards I've ever been in. Except for all the #### pumpkins running in and out of there.
