US railway provides solid help to industry
Norfolk Southern (NS) generated more than 60,000 carloads of new rail traffic in 2018 that helped 90 industries locate or expand business operations along the company’s rail lines in the USA.
The 72 new and 18 expanded industries across 17 US states represented an investment of USD 1.5 billion. Among the largest development projects were a new tissue mill in Circleville OH; an advanced-technology saw mill in Talladega AL; a new consumer-goods manufacturing facility near Martinsburg WV; a manufacturing facility in Blythewood SC that produces film products used in packaging; and new coal mines in Indiana and Pennsylvania.
