Norfolk Southern Corp., Norfolk, Va., opened its Franklin County Regional Intermodal Facility.
The $97 million terminal, located on 200 acres south of Greencastle, Pa., and less than a mile from Interstate 81, connects Central Pennsylvania, Western Maryland and Northern Virginia to domestic and world markets while creating 126 jobs at the site. The facility, a public-private partnership involving $52 million in Norfolk Southern funds and supported by a $45 million investment by Pennsylvania, is part of the company’s Crescent Corridor series of projects, a 2,500-mile network of rail and terminals that help moderate truck traffic on congested roadways and reduce carbon emissions.
