| 摘要： | At 1,345 acres, the Garden City Terminal at Georgia's Port of Savannah is the largest single-operator shipping container terminal in the United States. Originally, the facility included two rail yards on the north and south sides of a major waterway, the Pipemakers Canal. These two yards operated as separate facilities for different railroad companies: to the north was the Mason Intermodal Container Transfer Facility used by the Norfolk Southern Railway while to the south was the Chatham Intermodal Container Transfer Facility used by CSX Transportation. The recently completed Mason Mega Rail project was designed to connect the two yards by adding additional rail trackage, supported by rail-mounted gantry cranes, to increase the intermodal rail capacities and the overall throughput for standard shipping containers, known as twenty-foot equivalent units. The connected rail facility created a 185-acre intermodal facility within the Garden City Terminal that serves Norfolk Southern and CSX simultaneously. This enables the two Class I railroads to assemble six 10,000 ft long unit trains at the terminal, doubling the rail capacity to more than 1 million annual lifts. |
