National Gateway
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
National Gateway is a proposed railroad construction project in the United States promoted by CSX Transportation, a unit of CSX Corporation. It would improve rail connections between ports in the U.S. mid-Atlantic seaboard and the U.S. Midwest by upgrading bridges and tunnels to allow taller freight trains (ones carrying double-stacked marine containers). The company plans to invest $300 million, and is seeking investment from state governments and the U.S. federal government of an additional $400 million as a public-private partnership.
An unrelated project with the same name was founded in 2001 as an engineering test between global communication networks.[1]
