Norfolk Southern for Mason Mega rail terminal
The Georgia Ports Authority (GPA) Board has approved expenditure of USD 127 million to build an inland rail terminal in Gainesville, GA.
The new terminal Blue Ridge Connector will link Northeast Georgia with the port of Savannah’s 35 global container ship services. Connected to the Norfolk Southern Railroad, the facility will open in 2026 and serve a region important for the production of heavy equipment, food and forest products.
In a separate item, the board approved USD 44.5 million to build a facility on Garden City Terminal with offices and refrigeration facilities. In total, GPA has now invested more than USD 374 million in rail capacity in the harbour’s region. (ben)
