CSX Transportation said it has work completed or construction underway at one-third of the clearance projects included in its National Gateway project and noted it was “on track for completion by 2015.”
The project will create a double-stack freight rail corridor between Mid-Atlantic sea ports and the Midwest.
Improvements are designed to increase the vertical clearances at 61 locations on CSX rail lines in the region to accommodate intermodal trains carrying double-stack intermodal containers. To date, work is complete at five locations, and crews are working at 15 other sites.
CSX said it will invest $575 million in the project over several years.
