Another step forward towards the opening of the $100 million intermodal terminal in Salaberry-de-Valleyfield

Jacksonville, FL – May 21, 2014 - CSX Corporation (CSX), through its transportation and intermodal terminals subsidiaries, announces another milestone in the construction of the $100 million intermodal terminal in Salaberry-de-Valleyfield. This week marks the official opening of CSX Transportation’s mainline leading directly to the Perron industrial and maritime park in Salaberry-de-Valleyfield.
 
The addition of the new, 2.2-kilometer mainline track will minimize congestion in the residential area of the city. In addition, two new railroad crossings are now in operation – one at the intersection of highway 530 and Gérard- Cadieux Boulevard and the other at Des Érables Boulevard located close to the highway 530.
 
"The construction of the intermodal terminal in Salaberry-de-Valleyfield continues to progress.  The opening of the new mainline is just one more step towards the completion of this important project," said Chris Durden, Assistant Vice President, Terminal and Network Operations.
 
The 36-hectare (89-acre) intermodal terminal in the City of Salaberry-de-Valleyfield in Quebec, connects the region with CSX’s 34,000 kilometer (21,000-mile) network in the United States.
 
The intermodal project will enable shippers in the region to capitalize on the economic and environmental benefits of intermodal rail, expand on the north-south trade opportunities offered by NAFTA, and connect to new markets.
