Franklin County Intermodal Facility

Franklin County Intermodal Facility

The new Franklin County Regional Intermodal Facility in Greencastle, Pa., will occupy a 200-acre site adjacent to the planned Antrim Commons Business Park and is expected to open in 2012. The $95 million facility is part of the railroad's multi-state Crescent Corridor initiative to establish an efficient, high-capacity intermodal freight rail route between the Gulf Coast and the Northeast.

The terminal will have the capacity to handle more than 85,000 containers and trailers annually. It will utilize the latest in gate and terminal automation technology, which shortens the waiting time for trucks entering the terminal, thereby reducing exhaust emissions and improving truck driver productivity. Four intermodal trains daily will serve the terminal.

Norfolk Southern also has improvements planned for existing intermodal terminals in Harrisburg and Philadelphia.
