Norfolk Southern Begins New Rail Service

A new double-stack rail service collaboration with the Virginia Port Authority upgrades the capability of the city of Greensboro as a load center. This means that an exporter can put cargo on the train Monday and it can arrive at the port Wednesday and possibly ship that evening.

Advantages of this service include:
  • seven-day-a-week container availability
  • faster truck turn times
  • multiple truck turns per day at the ramp
  • proximity to cargo owners
