The Northwest Ohio Intermodal Terminal is one of the most technologically advanced and environmentally friendly facilities in North America.

The new facility has been hailed for its use of cutting-edge technologies and green design, including ultra-efficient electric cranes that lower emissions, optical scanners that reduce truck idle times and automated car tracking technologies and remote switches that increase operational efficiency.

Setting a new standard for the freight rail industry, it is one of the country’s most environmentally friendly and technologically-advanced intermodal terminals.
