Norfolk Southern to expand Philadelphia rail yard
Norfolk Southern's rail yard in South Philadelphia is to get an $11 million facelift, expanding its total area by a third to enable the company to handle a greater number of freight-shipping containers. The move is part of Norfolk Southern's Crescent Corridor plan, which would provide high-speed freight and passenger services between New York and New Orleans. "We plan to give the shippers and producers in Philadelphia and Pennsylvania the option to ride the rails all the way," said Charles "Wick" Moorman, the company's CEO.
