US: Container shipping hub to open in Edgecombe County
Progressive Railroading, 03 Jan 2017, online:-
The Carolina Connector container shipping hub would be opened in Edgecombe County, North Carolina by US-based railroad CSX under the Rail Division of the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT). Meanwhile, all bridge and construction projects of the Piedmont Improvement Program were ongoing as of 2016 and are expected to be completed by fall 2017. Projects in Cabarrus, Alamance, Guilford, Durham, Wake and Mecklenburg counties have been completed via a tie up between North Carolina Railroad and the NCDOT. A federal stimulus grant worth USD 546.50mn (EUR 486.56mn) largely funded the Piedmont program.
