The National Gateway Corridor project includes the states of Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia & Maryland.
Highlights of the Project are:
Doubles rail capacity on a major freight rail corridor with no increase in noise, emissions or train length
Promotes rail as a cost-effective alternative to long-haul trucking, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and the Nation's dependence on oil
Saves in shipper and logistics costs and significantly increases freight capacity
Significant portions of the investments in this corridor are in economically distressed areas.
Project Benefits:The National Gateway project will improve existing rail capabilities on a major freight rail corridor spanning multiple states. Modifying vertical clearances to allow for double-stack intermodal trains will provide relief to congested rail and highway corridors by enabling trains to carry more freight. The increased capacity and improved economies of scale will provide a cost-effective alternative to long-haul trucking, directly reducing highway congestion and highway maintenance costs. The project%u2019s benefits include reduced greenhouse gas emissions and fuel usage, lower transportation costs, improved service reliability, shorter transport times, improved highway safety and expanded access to rail services.
