Norfolk Southern Corporation has launched East Edge, a newly cleared double-stack intermodal corridor connecting Chicago and New England, following a $64 million investment. The new service cuts transit times by up to 10 hours and significantly increases network capacity by replacing a slower, single-stack route with a high-efficiency double-stack route. This expansion is part of Norfolk Southern’s decades-long strategy to modernize its 22-state network and is expected to drive substantial intermodal growth. The project also strengthens the Pan Am Southern network and supports economic growth and job creation. Further infrastructure improvements are underway in Western Pennsylvania, with completion targeted for 2028.
