Is this going to mainly haul building materials, or is there some industry on the island? <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Major new intermodal terminal. <br /> <br />LC <br />[/quote]who are they going to interchange with? who is going to get the majority of the traffic? <br />csx engineer <br /> <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I believe it will be part of Conrail SAA. So both CSX and NS will access it through SAA. On the Jersey side it will connect across the Arthur Kill Lift Bridge to the Chemical Coast Secondary. This is the new Howland Hook Container Terminal. There will also be connection to the major Fresh Kills Landfill and a nearby Paper Mill. <br /> <br />LC <br />[/quote]cool..any word on the routing of the csx traffic? <br />csx engineer <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />None that I know of yet. This is a pretty big project ($70 Million+) including major bridge rehab and replacement (3 timber bridges will be replaced by concrete and steel) and is not expected to be completed until late 2006. Perhaps we'll hear more on traffic and routings by then. <br /> <br />LC
