This article describes how revamped work processes and technological innovations result in an intermodal terminal that sets the benchmark for the future. With the use of sustainable materials and innovative work processes, CSX Intermodal Terminals Northwest Ohio Facility has set the bar for intermodal facilities of the future. The CSX Transportation’s National Gateway project is an $850 million public-private partnership that will create a double-stack freight rail corridor between Mid Atlantic seaports and the Midwest when it opens in 2015. The cornerstone of this project, the Northwest Ohio Facility, has been open for close to two years and has transformed not only how CSX Intermodal Terminals approaches intermodal terminal design but what the rail industry can expect to find in future intermodal terminals.
