The Northwest Ohio Intermodal Terminal is truly a state-of-the-art facility unlike any the world has seen before.
It’s a revolution in rail that serves the millions of Americans who rely on the products carried on CSX’s intermodal network.
The terminal now stands as the core of CSX’s intermodal network and the cornerstone of the National Gateway, a public-private partnership created in 2010 to strengthen our nation’s economy and to protect our environment through infrastructure investments that will improve transportation in this country.
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.
The hub is part of the National Gateway, a public-private partnership which supports the movement of double-stacked intermodal containers on rail cars by raising bridges, increasing tunnel clearances and building new terminals along existing rail routes.
Tthe National Gateway will benefit CSX customers by improving service reliability and transit times, reduce highway congestion, and enhance the environment by converting more than 14 billion highway miles to rail and decreasing fuel consumption by nearly 2 billion gallons.
