Norfolk Southern Railway opens Crescent Corridor terminal in Tennessee

On July 1, Norfolk Southern Railway opened the Memphis Regional Intermodal Facility in Rossville, Tenn. — the first new intermodal terminal to become operational along its planned Crescent Corridor.

The $105 million terminal features new gate and terminal automation technology, low-emission cranes and a main administration building built according to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, or LEED, standards. The facility is designed to handle about 327,000 containers and trailers annually. After future expansion work is completed, the terminal will cover more than 400 acres, and feature six loading tracks and 2,200 parking spaces
