Downsized CSX cargo hub on track in Rocky Mount

 

 

RALEIGH, N.C. — CSX Corp. is back on track with plans to build a North Carolina rail cargo hub near the Virginia state line two years after the freight railroad company announced plans and seven months after reassessing them.

Note:  Video editor needs some schooling on the difference between CSX and Amtrak.  :-(

The terminal has three wide-span, zero-emission electric cranes with a lift capacity of 110,000 containers per year.
